Why do Japanese not have many kids?

Japan has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, and there are numerous factors contributing to this phenomenon. Economic hardship, traditional gender roles within society, expensive education system, unequal job opportunities and wages for working women, and lack of government incentives are all contributing to why Japanese people don't have many kids. The government has implemented various policies to encourage couples to have more children but so far these measures have had limited success due largely because they don’t address any of the underlying issues adequately enough yet.
