I’m no expert on the subject, but in my opinion, Japan’s issue on this front is rather unique. On one hand, it’s a rich, developed country where both men and women no longer need to be with someone to ensure a better standard of living, and they will be just fine on their own. This brings a certain freedom of choice. On the other hand, it’s a very traditionalist society where individuals aren’t allowed to define what their relationship or marriage is going to be like. It’s not necessary to give away one's freedom or all your money to your spouse. Everything is a matter of choice for each couple individually (in the West). Personally, I believe this is the problem. It’s not that they don’t want to get involved with someone; they just don’t want that under the conditions set by a society that isn’t going to change anytime soon. P.S. I’m in my early 30s and married. My husband doesn’t forward his salary to me, and I don’t feel like I can’t go somewhere on my own. We are both happy with that.

It’s normal here for the wife to look after the money and the husband gets an allowance.

Not just Japan, this problem is everywhere. The difference is prosperity. In Japan, the quality of life is high, young people choose this lifestyle, and they can certainly choose again by starting a family or getting married late. As for poor countries that still suffer from dictatorships like Vietnam and China, young people in these two countries have to work hard 10 or 12 hours a day, just enough for them to survive, if they choose to get married, the burden of taking care of the baby is too expensive. Not to mention, a few years later they have to take care of their elderly parents. Therefore, the single lifestyle is not their choice, they have worked hard but cannot live comfortably, the question is that some bastards are exploiting them.
