Another national project to improve Japan's demographic situation has failed. The "Rural Wife" program, which paid urban women $4,200 to marry men from the countryside, was discontinued after criticism from the population.

The initiative was initially aimed at stimulating the migration of women from cities to the countryside to support the demographic situation and strengthen rural communities. However, the program did not live up to expectations, and Tokyo decided to shut down the project.

The case highlights the complexity of Japan's demographic problems and the need to reconsider approaches to solving them.
