Japan PM says country on the brink over falling birth rate, number of children born in Japan fell to a new record below 800,000 in 2022

[REhorror]

Sadly this. Nothing much can be done. They've tried it all. Their youth are just not interested. It is slow now but will rapidly pick up pace. A nation of old folk who may be the last in 50 years time.

There is a lot to be done.

I think the primary cause of failing birthrate in Japan is due to failing marriage rate, which comes from youth poverty and economic stagnation creating anxiety.

They don't like outsiders..hurting their culture and values.

This is what modern society does to people. All these electronic gadgets kill off sperm and egg.

Ironically I see a lot of conservative Muslims make this argument, and some against industrialisation

Why? For pajeets to go there? No. They're smart and they protect their nation.

When I lived in Japan, Pajeets were working in 7 eleven and gas stations. Pajeets are already there.
Japan does need to open up for immigration but they need to be smart about it and only let in educated people.

Japan really seems like its in a late stage capitalism phase, and by extension a neglect in social policy that is conducive to child rearing. Its an example that may follow for many other countries. The US is facing similar issues, though there is less of an issue b/c of the nature of constant influx of immigrants which has been periodic for the US, helping lessen the blow of a falling workforce(This solution works for the US, but I suspect the euros with racial ethnocentrism tendencies would be a lot less receptive to this). Raising children effectively isn't really possible when people aren't able to get married and settle down, and then there is the issue with no support for maternity leave, and it not being really feasible to have a household function in the U.S. without it being dual income. Add to that, the student debt crisis, the cost of home ownership and housing, the rising inflation, the stagnation of wages. A lot of people are putting off much of having children, b/c the building blocks to support it effectively are rapidly eroding.

I think the entire capitalist work is at the starting phase of late stage capitalism. Japan is just a little ahead of the curve. Everything you mentioned is true for most of the developed world. Capitalism is failed ideology and has proven that it always ends up with a tiny minority with all the wealth and the rest of the masses with below subsistence wages.

The only way out for Japan is joining Vietnam in a union of nations. We have something Japan hasn’t, we are a young nation, we are growing in people.

Japan has money and technology while we haven’t.

Win win.

I did make this proposal on the very first days when I joined this forum.

No joke

I mean serious.

Japanese are pretty xenophobic, they would not consider Vietnamese any closer to them than say, Egyptians or Brazilians
