Living in big city is depressing but nobody has a solution to spread the economy out of big cities. Just look at the birth rates in rural areas vs big cities.

Wow in 50 years time, 40% of Japan will be oldfag and the majority will be middle aged or older.

Being Japanese is depressing, they r loners and you have to follow the group.
cannot dare to be different.

from graduating to retirement have to be stuck with same co, cannot change job.

high cost of living, and japanese women high standard, cause men dun want to marry.

some more their jobs force them to work very late, come back home late, cannot spend time with family.

no surprise many parts are likely to vanish with schools closing due to lack of enrolment caused by low marriage n birth rates.

China people at least can change jobs.

but jepunis once they change jobs, cannot find one.

its employment for life.

Not saying PRC life is easy, its hard but still better than jepunis

What's the point arguing about small differences when the overall trend is all rich countries have low birth rate?

Asian women say Asian culture too traditional bla bla bla, but AMDK also low birth rate.

Some people say single motherhood is the solution. Yeah, it's a great solution to turn 5000 yo civilization into 300,000 yo civilization.
