Public opinion and socioeconomic subgroup evidence from approved external survey sources. Exact source framing and methodological caveats remain visible.
Nearly two-thirds of respondents in Japan said their household could cover basic needs for a month or more if income were lost.

Housing, education, work and family choices increasingly collide with financial pressure. PolisMetric keeps the U.S. Pew benchmark separate from Deloitte’s same-wave Gen Z and millennial country evidence so unlike questions are never forced into one ranking.
No country-specific 2026 financial-milestones topline has been source-verified for publication in the current governed pass. Missing is not estimated.
Missing is kept missing — never estimated, copied from a regional average or treated as zero.These 15 country results come from the same Deloitte 2026 survey wave and the same question. Paired dots show published percentages for Gen Z and millennials; the connector shows the gap. This is not a quality ranking. Countries without a verified national value remain outside the ranking.
Deloitte Global 2026 Gen Z and Millennial Survey · fielded Nov. 24, 2025–Jan. 15, 2026 · online self-complete survey. The global study includes 22,595 respondents in 44 countries; this chart contains only source-verified country cuts in the current PolisMetric evidence pass.
Country-specific research remains open. The international chart above is evidence from other countries and is not presented as a value for Japan.
PolisMetric does not assume that the U.S. pattern applies everywhere. For Japan, political or gender-attitude evidence is shown only when a governed source supports it, and mental-health evidence is kept methodologically separate. An association is never inferred merely because both measures appear on the same page.
Sapien Labs' Global Mind Project ranks Japan's internet-enabled 18–34 population at #82 of 84. This is a young-adult country context, not a women-only result and not a depression prevalence estimate.
Political ideology, party affiliation, feminist self-identification, psychological distress and MHQ are different constructs. Cross-country cultural and sampling differences also matter. PolisMetric keeps the measures separate unless a single defensible study directly estimates their relationship in the same population.
A directly comparable baseline from the Wellcome Global Monitor. “Most trusted source,” trust in government advice, and trust in medical workers are kept as separate measures. The survey was fielded in 2018; newer country-specific evidence is shown separately when a governed source is available.

Country percentages use the public within-country survey weight (wgt) and the full weighted country sample denominator, matching Wellcome's published country convention. Q21/Q22 combine 'A lot' + 'Some'. Don't know/refused responses remain in the denominator and are preserved as missing-response metadata; unavailable questions remain null and are never converted to zero.
