Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has called the situation a "quiet emergency", pledging family-friendly measures like more flexible working hours to try and reverse the trend.
Nah dude it's over. Not just in Japan but in most developed countries. Changes were needed decades ago. The only way to survive it is to relax immigration, not by "maybe" cutting work hours.
Yeah they also need to relax their xenophobia
How about giving families struggling to pay for child numero uno (like me) a stipend? Per child. Not even going to consider having more until Japan starts respecting full-time parenting as a legitimate occupation.
In the three and a half years my son has been alive, the Japanese government has given us a grand total of ¥120,000 ($834 USD). That covers about a month’s worth of childcare now thanks to soaring grocery prices.
Yes that's something they gotta do to help fix the root problem. I meant more that even if they fix it today, there will be chaos still in the coming years from not enough young people to replace old people retiring and paying taxes to support everything.
They have to let people in from other places easily.
Qaddafi tried to do that and he was killed
Is that why you think he was killed?
He was a dirty socialist trying to dedollarize Africa!
🤨
Is that true throughout the country? One of my friends lived in the inaka and I was under the impression he got a halfway decent amount for each of his kids every month, and both he and his wife worked.
definitely not a property problem, it must be those damn immigrants!
This site shows a pretty clear picture of population demographics for countries/continents with both past and future projections. Some places are more fucked than others.
That's not a long term solution
The entire world is trending that way
Genius way to solve the rice shortage crisis!
I mean... Yeah. The work ethic is to hard. The view of women is horrible. They can't buy a house.
