Increasing numbers of employees at STARTO Corp, based in Naniwa, Japan, are getting married, creating a mini marriage boom. The trend, seemingly exclusive to this particular company, has sparked discussions on the intersections of corporate life and personal happiness. The "why" behind this sudden increase is still being explored, though it's believed that a combination of supportive company policies and a positive work environment may be key contributory factors.

In Japan, the recent phenomenon of marriage booms within specific companies – typically major corporations – has become a topic of conversation, shedding light on shifts in both the work culture and societal values. The focus is on striking a balance between professional ambitions and personal happiness. Low birth rates and increased work pressures have been long-standing issues in Japanese society. Companies that foster environments where employees can balance their personal and professional lives are therefore cherished in the current social climate.

In the U.S. or E.U., there’s an ongoing discussion about work-life balance as well, although the specifics may differ. They also emphasize employers' role in supporting employees' personal lives, including romantic relationships. Companies are acknowledged for providing benefits and foster environments that help employees balance their work and personal lives, similar to what seems to be happening within STARTO Corp in Japan.
