I’m a foreigner raising 2 kids in Japan. Raising kids is not expensive here at all unless you prefer private schools and be wealthy. Medical service is just $2 per visit a doctor + medicine or even having a surgery and so on, until they turn 16. Public schools are good enough and free. Food? How much do kids eat? I believe people more and more prefer not to take the parenting responsibility and enjoy the life 😣

If I was foreigner coming in to Japan, I think I would love here... when I lived in China, there was no toilet paper at the toilet in public (except for 4~5 stars hotel) but in Japan, everywhere has toilet paper even at the toilet in subway stations.

30-40 years ago someone my age might've been able to have a job with a salary that paid enough to afford my own place. I'm almost 30 with a college degree and almost all my friends who also have degrees are still living at home with their parents. We hate it but consider it better than living on the street. Not to mention it's been proven the world over that women with higher education are putting off marriage longer, if they're bothering to get married at all. The stress of being a full time wife/mother/career woman just doesn't seem worth it, so those of us who manage to find stable work would definitely rather stay single. This seems to be a global issue that isn't unique to just Japan. How can we even think about bringing babies into the world when we're barely getting by ourselves?

And what do you think is happening in the United States? Kids graduating high school in New Jersey could possibly get married and move in to a starter home or small apartment 30 years ago. In 2019 With home prices ranging from one half to one million dollars where are young people going to move into? The majority of young people have to spend years in college after high school, then they are often saddled with unpayable debt and and are relugated to staying in their parents home with little opportunity to get married and have kids. Viably affordable housing for middle class and lower income working families is rapidly diminishing in all major urban areas of the United States. On top of that increasingly higher taxation rates on existing housing properties are driving retired parents out of their homes. Lack of affordable housing, rising property taxes, lack of unionized jobs with health and pension benefits, rising student debt, and increasing automation in the workplace is not a recipe for effecting societal conditions conducive to having children.
Exactly. We are vigorously discouraging young people getting married and having babies. 1970 no credit card debt, no college debt, your baby could sleep in any position. No one believed you needed a million dollars to retire. Corporate greed is killing us all. We created shit for the millennials.
Exactly. Taking out a 500k+ plus mortgage just to get a place to live makes my head spin. Millenial generation is screwed literally everywhere in the world. Debt slavery for life and then some more. Congratulations to boomers on the very affordable college education and opportunity to get a house, often times with only dad working. Paying property taxes alone is gonna cost you dearly these days. Having one income is unthinkable even for high earners so I really don't understand society demonizing women for working. What are you gonna feed those kids? Grass?
Interesting theory... except for the fact that it's totally wrong. Lower income people are having more children than higher income people. That's a fact. Being poor doesn't stop people from having kids. People aren't having children for societal reasons, not economic reasons.
Japanese culture is amazing, but their bushido-like corporate work ethic needs to change drastically. If Japan wants to lessen the herbivore men, the country needs to give the men more time away from the office and the incentive to go after the ladies.
They should also change how schools are run and what they teach to the children. We all agree that one's upbringing has to do a lot with one's attitude.
In any developed countries, actually. The difference with Japan : most of those countries take immigrants to "compensate" that lack of babies. That choice, forwarded by opportunists Politicians and Businessmen, is leading to a major cultural changes. As we can see in many parts of Europe and America...
The author of Sex and the City promoted the single life for all women when she was young. Now that she is 60 and without a spouse or children, she said she can barely stand her loneliness. She had friends but some got married and the others were just too busy with their lifestyle that they barely talked to her.
The cost of raising kids in Japan is 30,000,000 yen till age 18. According to a conversation with a hospital physical therapist i had about 2 months ago.
The main reason is because of the economy. It's expensive to have kids in Japan, the cost of living is high and not a great pay to much that living costs. Japan forces people to go to vacations and have many holidays, with average of 37 hours per week. I think if people started getting paid better, things might change.
People get paid pretty well in Japan although there’s been a trend towards more part time work recently and it isn’t like the 80s anymore when people were making a ton. Nobody is “forced to go on vacations and have holidays”. That’s a pretty weird take. What happens is that people often don’t take holidays in Japan, out of fear they’re letting the company and coworkers down. They spend lots of time, not taking vacation and working late, due to perceived pressure about what others might think of them. There’s a pretty decent amount of public holidays that most people get like “golden week” and around New Years.

How about it's difficult to raise a family in 20 square meters? Most of Asian populations are concentrated in large cities which means very high living costs and small living spaces. I think Taiwan is having a similar problem. I am not sure about S. Korea. Interestingly, Japanese men are increasingly marrying Chinese women and Taiwanese are marrying Vietnamese women. So it seems there is even a backlash against modern women in these countries, although divorce in Taiwan at least favors the man.
fazole - No,it's not only an Asian problem. To date, the effects are neglible in Africa. It is a worldwide phenomenon. All of Europe has fertility rates below replacement and the same is true for the Americas and Australia. China's rate is 1.62 and the US fertility rate is 1.89 and both are falling dramatically. S. Korea's fertility rate is falling through the floor. It is .98.

All is not what it seems in Japan. Long working hours kills relationships and connections with people. They must feel alienated from themselves. The same happens in the west.
Everybody worries about the support of a relatively large elderly population by a smaller young population. But if the generations roll out and remain small, the old/young demographic will balance itself out. Why do people think that a smaller population is a bad thing? It's a good thing as long as it's world wide. Less competition for land, food, fuel and goods in general. Cost of living goes up when there is so much increased demand. The environment would also benefit greatly from a smaller human burden.
The excessive prioritizing of grades and work leaves no time to LIVE a full life. This destroys family life and results in high suicide rates and plummeting population. Time to reprioritize and cut those work hours!
I agree. I'm convinced that many people in Japan aren't having children because those children will be stuck in cram school. I'm convinced that this is also a reason why South Korea also has a low birth rate.
The government can't do anything, once people decide not to have sex, it's a game over. They just need to open up to immigration, the only way forward for them.

@@baxakk7374 not really I think even the economy has a huge role in this case. The cost of raising a child is probably expensive if you look at the expenses especially in big cities like Tokyo. These things can be changed by the government.
You can blame the older generation of Japan for this, overworking is what's creating this, and underpay. Can't blame the men of my gen in Japan for not wanting to commit.
Anything less than a 2.11 population growth will cause a complete fall of any civilization , even America only has a 1.88 children per family. Very sad indeed for both countries
Japan and New Zealand are both volcanic island nations of about the same size, NZ has about 6M people and Japan 130M. What is wrong then with dwindling Japanese population? It is an over crowded country anyways.
Everyone in the comment section is blaming just the work and high cost of living which yes does play a huge part in all, But also the whole Technology thing is to blame as well. Technology is killing us all slowly from the inside out.

Why is Japan's birth rate focused on the Western media?Many European countries have the same birth rate as Japan. Spain, Italy and Eastern European countries have lower birth rates than Japan.
They lack one thing we have in America. We don't give a damn about working extra hours just to look good. It's better time management to get the job done as quickly and effectively as possible and have the worker be happier. Happy employee is a more effective employee. They also don't have immigration of people to Japan like they don in the west.
Jack Sanchez Sometime I feel America is the other way, they need to put in extra effort. Especially all the gov’t agencies, all the people there work 2 hours, then coffee break, then extended lunch, then talking with each other, another 2 hours of work, leave home early

Japan population is 126 million...and the foreigner that live permanently there are 1 million lol... Japan and america is different... Look america land is big... How can you compare to japan?
The same reasons are able to be applied to south Korea. Now, South Korea is nearly lowest birth rate rather than other far developed countries such Japan. In 2018, The birth rate of South Korea is about 0.98.
I find it humorous that South Korea has a porn ban and that hasn't done anything to solve the low birth rate. Also, when South Korea isn't in last place for birth rates, Singapore usually is. I say that this is the effect of spending all your youth in cram school so you can afford to put another generation through cram school.

@@BholaSingh-vv6ej Japanese aren't the only one who's going to extinct we will too. Atleast they get to spend their last days in peace , stable environment and we will die when everything is toxic.. so what's better ??
Japan is not unique in having this problem. They might be the most affected, but here in the states people like myself aren't having kid because the cost of living is soo fking high that it be suicide to have a kid. Also wages aren't going up. 26yrs turning 27 this year. Still in school with the plan of being a nurse anesthetists. As far as Japan criticizing women for working and being caregivers.... with all respect to the culture, the ignorance is strong with this one. I would want my wife to stay with my child too, but why should my wife take on all the burden. If you're smart you'll understand of the type of burden im talking about and not the child being the burden.
Because of bad economy in Japan, many women have to work too. Then normally you would expect your husband help you for cleaning, cooking, raising kids...but many of them DON'T !! There are many SUPER MOTHERS who work (even full-time) and do all the works alone at home(while they are cooking, Japanese men are enjoying games with smartphones at couch) . I am a Japanese woman who don't have kids and have an European husband...well I can enjoy my private life. I really cannot understand why so many Japanese women are agreeing to work like slaves at home ( by the way, you don't hire cleaning lady or baby- sitters in Japan. even you are rich). That is one of the reasons more people stay single and not having babies. Especially in big cities like Tokyo, you can enjoy your single life.

I don't think that's much of a sollution though. I mean, economically it is, sure, but still doesn't fix the actual problem that is people not being able to have a social life. They need to think about the people instead of just the economy. It has become all about money and stuff, and people aren't getting happier (much to the contrary), so that's the major issue.. Having family and spending time with them has to become rewarding again, but right now, is not being (why would anyone bring another slave to the world really); bringing people in that will eventually have the same problems is sort of like aproving, for example, assisted murder without seeking out the _reasons_ why people are only seeing an escape for their problems in death (and helping them out to feel like not doing that). This is replacing people, instead of helping them out, therefore, treating them as nothing but objets, and we're only seeing this as normal and the obvious solution because we're thinking like company's machines already, and not as individuals from a society.
@@kora4185 it's almost understandable behaviour: who, if not the Japanese, would make such a hard-hitting passive protest, about work conditions, by simply not having children. Hits them where it hurts: no workforce, no money.
When human being forget the laws of the CREATOR how to live the life in this world and following thier own desires i think this is the main reason why developed countries like Japan suffered from these kinds of problems. Peace.
The Uneducated 3rd world can't feed themselves yet have 10 kids each, that sure is not the answer. Now the scramble to the 1st world countries for welfare.
The Japanese government should track down all the those that have ever emigrated out and pay them(or their decedents) to come back if they are in good health and able the work. I know the Japanese are picky cuz they take pride in being Japanese, but if I was an official over there I would be willing to pay someone who is down to 1/8th Japanese decent to come back. Just to liven things up
I have lots of Japanese-brazilian friends over in Brazil, none of them wants to come to Japan. Of course, because brazil is better country to live. I'm Japanese and even I want to settle there in Brazil, not here in Japan
Many people put japanese on a pedestal. I live in Japan for 11 years is a really sad society people are just busy all the time not time for social life. what people see on the surface is japanese putting an act of how fabulous their culture really is but behind doors the people are not happy at all suicide is big in Japan even children suicide for the amount of pressure they have by their parents sports clubs are insane they practice the whole day on the weekends children don't have a normal childhood. Foreigners that marry japanese end up getting divorce because culture differences is huge and compatibility is rare if you had children she would take your kids and remove your family name and you lucky if ever get to see your children.
I agree with those who say it could be because so many of the young are geeks (addicted to technology), no time for real life relationships. I’m seeing signs of this all around me - ppl don’t know how to form relationships anymore (they use technology to be weird and mean).
IN the eu are the same, many countries in the eu are having less kids too, not only in japan, this will spread to america soon, as only the dumb and poor can pop out mistakes they cant afford.
As a visitor to Japan, I can add my observation. Japan is pretty in some places but the major cities are terribly crowded. I got claustrophobic in Osaka and Tokyo. A comfortable lifestyle requires double income and/or long commuting times. No fun and not good for romance. People living that close together is not very romantic. Multiple families in one house? No thank you. I can also report that many Japanese women rather have a job than be housewives.

OMG Was that guy really holding the poster of WILL YOU MARRY ME in public.I didn't knew People were having such crucial problems too i feel bad for Japanese mens I hope get married soon and have a healthy family
Why the hell should the women worry about being criticized for both being a mother and having a career? Isn't it her life and her choice? The idea of choosing either marriage and motherhood or career sounds backward.
A slightly depopulated country probably would appeal to the future citizens. Many wish to retire to the countryside or Kyoto. With less competition, an affordable and peaceful retirement may be an achievable goal for more individuals. Assistance robotics will be improved drastically in the fullness of time.

In the real world, you can't sell houses in the country and villages in Japan. They are abandoned.
Maybe, I think just maybe. The government will do what happened in "Koi to Uso". Because in the anime the population of Japan is really low and the government, would push a partner in the teenagers, basing on all the data the government gets on a certain person, they will find the most suitable partner for both male and female. So It's like forcing marriage since in the anime the birth rate is said to be less than 500,000. 60,000 I think is the birth rate, I forgot. But maybe they can do this. Although they're just going to force their citizens to mate and marry people they might see for the first time in their lives.
Turkish men are always happy to help Japanese women to have babies, improve demography of this fantastic ancient nation and raise awareness amongst so-called Japanese men. Call 911. This is your chance, ladies!
This video is absolutely true I love Japan it's a beautiful country I visit there for months at a time and I can tell you the typical Japanese life doesn't really have time or babies and the drama of relationships, the typical Japanese woman works hard on her job or career and doesn't really have time for a baby,(of course there are exceptions in some women love babies) and guys are the same with work and just not having time for relationship drama or either they want to spend money on technology or things that they like and having a kid means you're not going to have much money for hobbies cuz all the money has to go to the kids needs, but in my personal opinion relationships are overrated I feel like if you're happy by yourself doing your own thing there's nothing wrong with that, but the issue is like they saying the video the population is dwindling and with more and more foreign tourists coming definitely after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics over the years the culture is going to start to change with less Japanese people and more foreigners Japan might start to lose it's identity in about 20 or 30 years
Yeah, Japan is slowly loosing our traditions in good and in bad ways. And, definitely more in 20~30 years... but it's same as the rest of the world maybe except for North Korea. Many of us don't plan on having babies, that's true. I also think I have another things to do than raising kids. If you were here as a tourists, you've probably seen the good parts of Japan but if you would live here, it's another story. I mean, not even live, but if you ever get to speak Japanese, you're image of Japan would totally change. OK, explain to you briefly. Over here, pple try to be (or pretend to) be nice and polite to the other pple specially to the westerners but that's only at the surface, in reality, pple got narrow mind-set and not likely to accept any different or/and opposite opinions. If one person says something and the next person agrees on him/her, and then if I ever say something against the previous opinion, the others would call me "strange" and this is how stereotypical Japanese are. Pple don't have capacities to accept the other thoughts, so it's damn difficult to live life here as the way you are. I think the Japanese are pretty mean in this way. Maybe the Koreans got pretty much the similar mind-set with us Japanese but I can say they've got warmer hearts than us.

Exactly, its like a war zone now, no hope for the future generation at all.
developed nation 's goverment put so much work pressure on her citizens untill they are frustrated like you. better it being and living as a poor nation.
If you ever have a kid, you'll understand the point, .............fuck the statistics, our natural condition is to procreate the species. But we are constantly brainwashed into believing that work and our hedonisn is the reason for existence.

Guess I am going to move
And what do you think is happening in the United States?
Kids graduating high school in New Jersey could possibly get married and move in to a starter home or small apartment 30 years ago. In 2019
With home prices ranging from one half to one million dollars where are young people going to move into? The majority of young people have to spend years in college after high school, then they are often saddled with unpayable debt and and are relugated to staying in their parents home with little opportunity to get married and have kids. Viably affordable housing for middle class and lower income working families is rapidly diminishing in all major urban areas of the United States.
On top of that increasingly higher taxation rates on existing housing properties are driving retired parents out of their homes.
Lack of affordable housing, rising property taxes, lack of unionized jobs with health and pension benefits, rising student debt, and increasing automation in the workplace is not a recipe for effecting societal conditions conducive to having children.
Exactly, I wasn't able to move out until I was 28.
So true
Exactly. We are vigorously discouraging young people getting married and having babies. 1970 no credit card debt, no college debt, your baby could sleep in any position. No one believed you needed a million dollars to retire. Corporate greed is killing us all. We created shit for the millennials.
Exactly. Taking out a 500k+ plus mortgage just to get a place to live makes my head spin. Millenial generation is screwed literally everywhere in the world. Debt slavery for life and then some more. Congratulations to boomers on the very affordable college education and opportunity to get a house, often times with only dad working. Paying property taxes alone is gonna cost you dearly these days. Having one income is unthinkable even for high earners so I really don't understand society demonizing women for working. What are you gonna feed those kids? Grass?
Interesting theory... except for the fact that it's totally wrong.
Lower income people are having more children than higher income people. That's a fact. Being poor doesn't stop people from having kids. People aren't having children for societal reasons, not economic reasons.
I also wouldnt like to have babies there
But nice place as a tourist!
Japanese culture is amazing, but their bushido-like corporate work ethic needs to change drastically. If Japan wants to lessen the herbivore men, the country needs to give the men more time away from the office and the incentive to go after the ladies.
That’s what I’ve been wanting to say !
R.C. Beringuela They go after the ladies after the office with their bosses hence why the no sex at home and no need of girlfriends.
TFW: you wished your country's society would follow the same suit as japan,we have too much people here who didnt even want to work
They should also change how schools are run and what they teach to the children. We all agree that one's upbringing has to do a lot with one's attitude.

Pretty sure this is happening world-wide and not only in Japan
In any developed countries, actually.
The difference with Japan : most of those countries take immigrants to "compensate" that lack of babies. That choice, forwarded by opportunists Politicians and Businessmen, is leading to a major cultural changes. As we can see in many parts of Europe and America...
@@c.guibbs1238 Interesting insight and makes sense...

The author of Sex and the City promoted the single life for all women when she was young. Now that she is 60 and without a spouse or children, she said she can barely stand her loneliness. She had friends but some got married and the others were just too busy with their lifestyle that they barely talked to her.
People in my country: I don't have money (have 4 children and will have more)
The cost of raising kids in Japan is 30,000,000 yen till age 18. According to a conversation with a hospital physical therapist i had about 2 months ago.
I guess the government has to do something about it if incase they want the population to raise
Japan: Cost of raising a child is too damn high.

@Arjit singh ..and what do u think is the reason of this pandemic.Stay dafe..
A huge economic collapse might not be an entirely bad thing.
The main reason is because of the economy. It's expensive to have kids in Japan, the cost of living is high and not a great pay to much that living costs.
Japan forces people to go to vacations and have many holidays, with average of 37 hours per week.
I think if people started getting paid better, things might change.
People get paid pretty well in Japan although there’s been a trend towards more part time work recently and it isn’t like the 80s anymore when people were making a ton.
Nobody is “forced to go on vacations and have holidays”. That’s a pretty weird take. What happens is that people often don’t take holidays in Japan, out of fear they’re letting the company and coworkers down. They spend lots of time, not taking vacation and working late, due to perceived pressure about what others might think of them. There’s a pretty decent amount of public holidays that most people get like “golden week” and around New Years.
They need new parenting styles, working hours, and prices almost on everything, because those three things create recluses.
The work ethic is terrifying
This is not a good video for someone who cannot pronounce 'celibacy' or 'women' to narrate.

How about it's difficult to raise a family in 20 square meters? Most of Asian populations are concentrated in large cities which means very high living costs and small living spaces.
I think Taiwan is having a similar problem. I am not sure about S. Korea. Interestingly, Japanese men are increasingly marrying Chinese women and Taiwanese are marrying Vietnamese women. So it seems there is even a backlash against modern women in these countries, although divorce in Taiwan at least favors the man.
fazole - No,it's not only an Asian problem. To date, the effects are neglible in Africa. It is a worldwide phenomenon. All of Europe has fertility rates below replacement and the same is true for the Americas and Australia. China's rate is 1.62 and the US fertility rate is 1.89 and both are falling dramatically. S. Korea's fertility rate is falling through the floor. It is .98.
Singapore also has an extremely low birth rate. When they aren't in last place, they are usually second to last.

Everybody worries about the support of a relatively large elderly population by a smaller young population. But if the generations roll out and remain small, the old/young demographic will balance itself out. Why do people think that a smaller population is a bad thing? It's a good thing as long as it's world wide. Less competition for land, food, fuel and goods in general. Cost of living goes up when there is so much increased demand. The environment would also benefit greatly from a smaller human burden.
Agree. The population needs to go down by a factor of 100.
Any nation which achieves population stability is frightened with EXTINCTION!!!
The excessive prioritizing of grades and work leaves no time to LIVE a full life. This destroys family life and results in high suicide rates and plummeting population. Time to reprioritize and cut those work hours!
I agree. I'm convinced that many people in Japan aren't having children because those children will be stuck in cram school. I'm convinced that this is also a reason why South Korea also has a low birth rate.
TFW: you wished the whole world is like them,We just have too many kids nowadays
This is making me sad because I love anime!
I hope the government will help the japanese people repopulate and make their lives better.
The government can't do anything, once people decide not to have sex, it's a game over. They just need to open up to immigration, the only way forward for them.

Why is Japan's birth rate focused on the Western media?Many European countries have the same birth rate as Japan. Spain, Italy and Eastern European countries have lower birth rates than Japan.
It is probably because western countries let in more immigrants to cover up population decline. Very few people are allowed into Japan.
Because japan has it on more advanced level, and the boom on it is higher since they find ways to fill the time that should go in "relationship"
A society that believe in perfection. They work mainly for status.
They lack one thing we have in America. We don't give a damn about working extra hours just to look good. It's better time management to get the job done as quickly and effectively as possible and have the worker be happier. Happy employee is a more effective employee.
They also don't have immigration of people to Japan like they don in the west.
Jack Sanchez Sometime I feel America is the other way, they need to put in extra effort. Especially all the gov’t agencies, all the people there work 2 hours, then coffee break, then extended lunch, then talking with each other, another 2 hours of work, leave home early

The same reasons are able to be applied to south Korea. Now, South Korea is nearly lowest birth rate rather than other far developed countries such Japan.
In 2018, The birth rate of South Korea is about 0.98.
Is it because the women became stronger than it used to be? I felt that way when I stayed in Seoul for a while. Btw, I loved it in Seoul!!
I find it humorous that South Korea has a porn ban and that hasn't done anything to solve the low birth rate. Also, when South Korea isn't in last place for birth rates, Singapore usually is.

Because of bad economy in Japan, many women have to work too. Then normally you would expect your husband help you for cleaning, cooking, raising kids...but many of them DON'T !! There are many SUPER MOTHERS who work (even full-time) and do all the works alone at home(while they are cooking, Japanese men are enjoying games with smartphones at couch) . I am a Japanese woman who don't have kids and have an European husband...well I can enjoy my private life. I really cannot understand why so many Japanese women are agreeing to work like slaves at home ( by the way, you don't hire cleaning lady or baby- sitters in Japan. even you are rich). That is one of the reasons more people stay single and not having babies. Especially in big cities like Tokyo, you can enjoy your single life.

I don't think that's much of a sollution though. I mean, economically it is, sure, but still doesn't fix the actual problem that is people not being able to have a social life. They need to think about the people instead of just the economy. It has become all about money and stuff, and people aren't getting happier (much to the contrary), so that's the major issue.. Having family and spending time with them has to become rewarding again, but right now, is not being (why would anyone bring another slave to the world really); bringing people in that will eventually have the same problems is sort of like aproving, for example, assisted murder without seeking out the _reasons_ why people are only seeing an escape for their problems in death (and helping them out to feel like not doing that).
This is replacing people, instead of helping them out, therefore, treating them as nothing but objets, and we're only seeing this as normal and the obvious solution because we're thinking like company's machines already, and not as individuals from a society.
@@kora4185 it's almost understandable behaviour: who, if not the Japanese, would make such a hard-hitting passive protest, about work conditions, by simply not having children. Hits them where it hurts: no workforce, no money.

The Japanese government should track down all the those that have ever emigrated out and pay them(or their decedents) to come back if they are in good health and able the work. I know the Japanese are picky cuz they take pride in being Japanese, but if I was an official over there I would be willing to pay someone who is down to 1/8th Japanese decent to come back. Just to liven things up
I have lots of Japanese-brazilian friends over in Brazil, none of them wants to come to Japan. Of course, because brazil is better country to live. I'm Japanese and even I want to settle there in Brazil, not here in Japan

Many people put japanese on a pedestal. I live in Japan for 11 years is a really sad society people are just busy all the time not time for social life. what people see on the surface is japanese putting an act of how fabulous their culture really is but behind doors the people are not happy at all suicide is big in Japan even children suicide for the amount of pressure they have by their parents sports clubs are insane they practice the whole day on the weekends children don't have a normal childhood. Foreigners that marry japanese end up getting divorce because culture differences is huge and compatibility is rare if you had children she would take your kids and remove your family name and you lucky if ever get to see your children.

As a visitor to Japan, I can add my observation. Japan is pretty in some places but the major cities are terribly crowded. I got claustrophobic in Osaka and Tokyo. A comfortable lifestyle requires double income and/or long commuting times. No fun and not good for romance. People living that close together is not very romantic. Multiple families in one house? No thank you.
I can also report that many Japanese women rather have a job than be housewives.
Kids are expensive and require a lot of time and energy.

In the real world, you can't sell houses in the country and villages in Japan. They are abandoned.
a good friend of mine who is of Czech descent told me recently his girlfriend doesn't want kids. its sad but he still loves her.
Maybe, I think just maybe. The government will do what happened in "Koi to Uso". Because in the anime the population of Japan is really low and the government, would push a partner in the teenagers, basing on all the data the government gets on a certain person, they will find the most suitable partner for both male and female. So It's like forcing marriage since in the anime the birth rate is said to be less than 500,000. 60,000 I think is the birth rate, I forgot. But maybe they can do this. Although they're just going to force their citizens to mate and marry people they might see for the first time in their lives.
"Too much hassle. Can't be bothered". That is the answer in short.

This video is absolutely true I love Japan it's a beautiful country I visit there for months at a time and I can tell you the typical Japanese life doesn't really have time or babies and the drama of relationships, the typical Japanese woman works hard on her job or career and doesn't really have time for a baby,(of course there are exceptions in some women love babies) and guys are the same with work and just not having time for relationship drama or either they want to spend money on technology or things that they like and having a kid means you're not going to have much money for hobbies cuz all the money has to go to the kids needs, but in my personal opinion relationships are overrated I feel like if you're happy by yourself doing your own thing there's nothing wrong with that, but the issue is like they saying the video the population is dwindling and with more and more foreign tourists coming definitely after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics over the years the culture is going to start to change with less Japanese people and more foreigners Japan might start to lose it's identity in about 20 or 30 years
Yeah, Japan is slowly loosing our traditions in good and in bad ways. And, definitely more in 20~30 years... but it's same as the rest of the world maybe except for North Korea.
Many of us don't plan on having babies, that's true. I also think I have another things to do than raising kids.
If you were here as a tourists, you've probably seen the good parts of Japan but if you would live here, it's another story. I mean, not even live, but if you ever get to speak Japanese, you're image of Japan would totally change. OK, explain to you briefly. Over here, pple try to be (or pretend to) be nice and polite to the other pple specially to the westerners but that's only at the surface, in reality, pple got narrow mind-set and not likely to accept any different or/and opposite opinions. If one person says something and the next person agrees on him/her, and then if I ever say something against the previous opinion, the others would call me "strange" and this is how stereotypical Japanese are. Pple don't have capacities to accept the other thoughts, so it's damn difficult to live life here as the way you are. I think the Japanese are pretty mean in this way. Maybe the Koreans got pretty much the similar mind-set with us Japanese but I can say they've got warmer hearts than us.

I'm getting out of here, hopefully in near future. there's no bright future in my country in fact this closed society is disgusting
@@urashimahanako9965 wow really, I understand you are Japanese so you see the social and political issues, me I just see the beautiful landscape and mountains and architecture, but I totally understand I have another Japanese friend that thinks America is great and my attitude is 😑 lol
@@shonwest1539 Frankly speaking, US politics sucks. but I like it there, if not, I wont have been trying to win the US citizenship lottery for so many years. (never succeed) I don't think US likes me so I'm going to another country besides US. I've seen pple writing blogs about winning the green card lottery and now living in the US, how could they do that...
So, your Japanese friend also likes US. Is he or she tryin to move in there?
I also like Japanese style architecture... I just dont fit in to this shitty Japanese culture.
I just don’t want them either. It’s enough work just living with a cat 😂
