98% of adoptions in Japan are of males between the ages of 25-30! Why?
It’s a little known fact that America and Japan have the highest rates of adoption in the entire world, but they have these high adoption rates for very different reasons. In the U.S, majority of the adopted people are children. In Japan, majority of the adopted are grown men! The reason for this strange statistic is because many of Japan’s strongest companies are led by relatives of the CEO.
Whenever the son of the head of the company isn’t suited to take over the family business, he is replaced by an adopted son! Statistics show that the companies that ‘keep it in the family’ actually perform better than those that do not! For more information about this weird statistic, you should check out the source.
