Why does Japan have no kids?
Japan has the lowest birth rate in the world, with an estimated 1.4 children per woman. This low birth rate has had a negative impact on economic growth and productivity levels, due to fewer people entering the workforce each year. Reasons for this trend include social stigmas surrounding marriage and childbirth, as well as financial challenges faced by families with children. The Japanese government has implemented several initiatives aimed at increasing the birth rate, such as providing financial incentives and introducing longer parental leave policies. It remains to be seen if these measures will be successful in reversing Japan's declining population numbers.
