unironically anime, terrible work culture, and maybe a high rate of NEET-ism?

I LOVE anime, but it's probably used for escapism way too much by the population there >_>

The birth rate is declining in Japan for the same reason it's declining in the US. People would rather focus on their careers and raising children is too expensive. It's starting to be an issue in most western countries, IIRC.

another issue with kids is that you dont get to enjoy traveling as much when you have children.

There's been a massive surge of interest in things like tubal ligation / vasectomies in the past 48 hours in America.

How about we keep the smart and tech savvy people and not have them decline. Plenty of people who contribute nothing at all who continue to thrive that should not.

Yes but it's reactionary to the RvW decision. Who knows how many are actually going to follow through with it.

You can find stuff like this & other various stuff.

Actual numerical metrics will probably need a few days to measure.

i always remember hearing things about Japan being so overpopulated that they cram like 3 generations into a 3 bedroom loft. is this a bad thing?

NZ and Japan have pretty similar landmass sizes, they are only slightly larger our population is like 6 million. Japan is.... 124 million? Jesus fucking christ. And I bitch about the traffic here....

Tbh I hear western countries are beginning to show signs of this as well. Japan was just ahead of the curve.

Just look at the situation in London. Expensive rents, house prices are insane, salaries have been stagnant while council tax has increased yet again. Public transport is up again with Brexit making things worse.

Tories wont do a damn thing except make us pay even more while telling us there are jobs out there. When there isnt. People I personally know literally working themselves to death in this city. Some of my friends do so much overtime they have no extra time to spend going out to socialize or meet new people.

People are leaving here to go other places. Almost every single expat I know who came here literally has gone back to their home countries. This includes friends from Japan, Bangladesh, Taiwan, China, Netherlands and Finland.

This place has gone to shit and there are news reports of the poorer families literally switching off their electricity by the power source to save money.

School/Work and life balance is fucked up. This makes it harder for people to date, and why would you when dating is so hard. Just set back and watch some anime. Hell I am in America and that is my issue. I literally have not even thought about trying to get a girl in over a year. And I know work-life balance is harder then the hard shit I deal with.

US and first world countries are headed into the same place. Seems to be a symptom of end stage capitalism. Life so expensive with an outlook so bleak for the future that very few people want to have children. Im doing ok with a child, but cant have anymore if I want to live comfortably.

the big cities (especialy tokyo) are very population dense but there's a fair amount of space in rural areas in japan actually. it's sort of mountain-y though so I dunno how great it is for living

It's true that Japan work culture and them not liking fucking anymore are issues, but another one that's not mentioned enough is that they're very xenophobic. Most of the issues could be solved by allowing immigrants in, but they hate foreigners so they aren't even considering the options.

They will have to, though, at least enough of them to care for their elderly.

How does that happen?

-Covid deaths, covid immigration/resident worker restrictions and also decreased socialization means less fucking
-Barely any immigration
-Overworking culture means less energy for dating and fucking
-Stagnant economy
-Not a ton of living space being an island nation increasingly living in big cities. Japan has about a third the population of the USA but with not even 1/20th the amount of land. It's harder for Japan to expand its population then many countries due to being an island nation with relatively little land relative to its population. Immigration(especially illegally) is harder and also less culturally accepted.

Etc.

It should be noted that the reason people aren't having kids is because they don't have time to date or have relationships because the work culture there is completely fucked. It's so shitty that it makes the American work/life balance seem reasonable.
