Japan Changes Adult Age From 20 To 18

(CNN)The Japanese government enacted a bill Wednesday lowering the age of adulthood from 20 to 18, but teenagers beware: the legal age of drinking will stay fixed at 20. The change, the first of its kind in 142 years, will allow 18-year-olds to take out credit cards and loans, apply for a passport that's valid for 10 years as opposed to five, and marry without parental consent. Currently, men aged 18 and women aged 16 are able to marry, but must first seek parental consent. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/14/asia/japan-age-adulthood-bill/index.html http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
