Why does Japan still have a declining/low birth rate, even though the Japanese goverment has enacted several nation-wide policies to tackle the problem?
In: 12200
A lowering in birth rate is natural the more first world and stable a society becomes… so it lowering globally in firat world countries isn’t too unusual
Also note; having kids is expensive, people are not stupid and have kids in a country that is built upon discipline and work ethics.
Japanese people are often chronically overworked, and often lack the time for finding said social circles aswell.
So it is pretty much:
– you gotta have the money and stability to even support kids
– the time to even find someone
– the will for kids in this overwhelming lifestyle
– the energy to invest into that.
So many japanese basically go home, maybe do a bit of leisure activity then fall into bed.. not everyone has that time, energy or courage for getting kids… you also have lots of social anxiety due to all of the culture that emerged around japans lifestyle.. we are speaking about a country where people are under so much stress (TW) >!they end it over a failed grade to not be a disgrace to family mind you.!< in such an envoirement anxiety and social awkwardness are common.
