often the very ones responsible for making society so anti-family
Normally I agree but with Japan specifically I think it's Japan's fault for this. I mean look at their culture and lifestyle for decades now, as a man in a Japanese city you have 2 options, be a socially retarded hermit who can't reproduce because even looking at a woman's direction gives him crippling anxiety so he substitutes with 2d cartoons, or commute 3 hours every day then work long hours in the same company for 40 years if you want to be ''successful'', at that point honestly a trip to Japan's famous forest doesn't sound that bad.
I've never understood this whole obsession over Japan, is it the anime? Old Japan sure, but modern Japan is easily the most depressing country to live in, I'd rather live in some shithole like Australia.
the drop in birth rates in Japan was caused by feminism. Their birthrates dropped immediately after ww2 when gender equality laws was forced on them https://files.catbox.moe/raulcf.png
Well I am not as educated on the topic of post WW2 Japan as modern Japan is just sad to look at to me, it's such a depressing country that I didn't really have much interest to look deeper into it, but yea, it makes sense. I can imagine South Korea must be in the same boat? Considering South Korean and Japanese men are incredibly emasculated.
focusing on the problems that have deterred people from wanting to have children.
I'm not sure there's a political solution to "women's demands have reached a level that is absolutely unsustainable and provide absolutely no value to your life even if you work the 16 hour days they want you to, because they won't even let you have your own money that you worked for - because traditional marriage means give your husband an allowance of his own money while you do fuck all."
There's about as much logic in Kishida's plan as there was planning in my poorly worded run-on sentence.
what's wrong with japan's population shrinking to something more sustainable for them and remaining explicitly japanese?
but this is all assuming that there won't be a bounceback or some technological innovation that alleviates the problem.
