Young adults are advised to move forward without flinching even in the middle of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Today, which is Coming-of-Age Day, should serve as a day for new adults to think about how to be involved in society and how to fulfill their own responsibilities.
The number of new adults born in 2001 totals an estimated 1.2 million, a record low since estimates began to be compiled in 1968.
On Coming-of-Age Day last year, many municipalities postponed or canceled their ceremonies due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this year, many municipalities seem to have held ceremonies by taking preventive measures.
