    But I bet they will continue to work people to the bone as a point of pride…like I wonder what could be contributing to this problem.

      This right here. It’s not that people don’t want kids. It’s that they’re at their breaking point already.

      Oh, you mean like Karoshi? The term that translates to “overwork death”? Good times. Good times.

      Yeah, and in a city with no greenery for kids to play in and afraid to let the kids out of their sight for 1 minute.

        There’s a surprising amount of green for major cities that otherwise look like concrete jungles. There’s usually plenty of parks and kids are in general very safe. Maybe this is just my comparison from originally living in the states, but it is super safe for children and the amount of expected unsupervised travel kids do in Japan is astonishing.

        Dude, Japan is so safe the cops are largely overglorified tourist and traffic guides. The kids run around alone all the time.

      They’ve got women’s rights but they hate immigration, this outcome is inevitable regardless of socioeconomic equality among native born.
