In Japan, there is a noticeable problem in society: it has evolved into a purely work-oriented society.
How can we expect average or low-income earners to dedicate enough time to their children, family, or reproduction when they have long working hours, minimal vacation time, and potentially social obligations towards their business partners and colleagues? The working hours are excessively long, and vacations are too short. While most Japanese people earn more compared to other countries, they also have higher expenses.
Personally, if I were in their shoes, I wouldn't feel inclined to consider having children either. In my opinion, only well-off individuals can afford to have children without much concern, as they can handle a parent being absent from work for a few weeks or months or even partially or fully devoting themselves to household duties for the family.
Furthermore, the immigration of foreigners will not significantly alleviate the situation.
It is necessary for there to be a change in the excessively intense work culture, which is far from promoting a healthy and social environment within Japanese society. Without reforms that prioritize leisure time and improved salaries, as an impartial observer, I unfortunately see little hope for Japan.
It's truly unfortunate because Japan possesses a fascinating culture and traditions.
