Macromill, Inc. conducted a wide-ranging survey of 2019 "new adults" who will reach the coming-of-age ceremony in January 1, including the present and future of Japan, and the usage rate of smartphones and SNS.

 According to the survey, when asked "thoughts about Japan's present and future" to new adults, 37% answered "bright", while 63% answered "dark".The reasons I think it is bright are the "Tokyo Olympics," "Osaka Expo," and "economic recovery."The dark reasons were anxiety about "declining birthrate and aging population" and "political problems".Compared to the past, the percentage of people who say that the future of Japan is "bright" was the highest at 2014% in 44, and although it has decreased since then, it has gradually increased in the two years from 2017.

 Regarding the "reliability of the national pension system," the percentage of "reliable" bottomed out at 2014% in 27 and has been on a gradual upward trend year by year, reaching 2019% in 41, the highest reliability.When asked about the reasons for their credibility, the opinion that it was a "national system and operation" was conspicuous, and "although the system itself is reliable, there are concerns about supply and demand due to the declining birthrate and aging population."On the other hand, 59% of the respondents were "unreliable", and the reason was overwhelmingly anxiety and dissatisfaction with receiving such things as "the amount of money will be reduced or not received".

 As for "SNS usage rate", "LINE" is ranked first at 1%, "Twitter" is ranked second at 96%, and "Instagram" is ranked third at 2%. Although there was no change in the ranking in 78, the 3rd place "Instagram" was the 60st place in the rate of increase from 2018, 3 times compared to 2018.In addition, the "1 new adult ranking that expects success" was 2016st place "Kanna Hashimoto" 2.4%, 2019nd place "Suzu Hirose" 1%, and 50.2rd place "Ayumu Hirano" 2%.
