  1. Given the economy and the fact that there's so many things to do to keep someone entertained and preoccupied (not just Japan but in general), it's no surprise that people are not getting married let alone having kids. People are struggling to find a job/career as it is. So when people feel like they're somewhat financially stable, I presume many don't want to risk their job/career by getting into a relation. To those that consider a relation, I think that they would feel they'd not be able to spend enough time with the family to make it a fulfilling relation. Also the 'old world' social norms of a male working and a female staying home and taking care of the kids and home is not something that works anymore. Again, this isn't just Japan, it's pretty much everywhere. In many couples, both work full time so the amount of time they spend is limited to after work (dinner, in the bedroom) and in the morning as they're leaving home to go to work for the day. Then on the weekends, many couples are too tired or too busy catching up with things they could not do during the work week. Some people work 7 days a week. So really this is a problem stemming from multiple issues. - financial burden/concern - time - career/occupation focus Governments in general need to do things to make it less stressful for people in general. Most of us working class work more these days than previous generations while getting less pay. This is all while the cost of living keeps going up. Job security is not as guaranteed as before. People are going to colleges & graduate schools and many are coming out with massive debt and not able to get a job. After some time of not getting a job, people will get discouraged, depressed, etc all while still being in debt. Heck, many hourly paying jobs don't even hire as easily. To those that get those jobs, many will not give much money let alone hours during the week. So if you consider all of the things I mentioned here, it's no wonder marriage and kids is not something that many people consider a priority these days. Unless governments and big corporations do something about it, things will keep getting worse. How is it for these big companies to keep making their millions & billions in profits each year while not proportionately giving better pay & benefits to its employees? How is it okay for people to be working more than 40 hours a week? People that work like 50+ hours a week barely have any time to do anything. So to wonder why people are not getting married, dating, or having kids is just silly. Marriage & kids is a big financial responsibility. If a country wants to see a population increase they're going to have to make changes that helps people be more financially less burdened, have more free time, etc. A government needs to use tax dollars that benefits its citizens. I mean that's what tax dollars are supposed to be used for, right? But think about what percentage of tax dollars are going where. Think about how much money corrupt politicians are taking and giving excuses as to why such an excessive amount is spent on certain things when clearly the people need to be paid better, need facilities that promote population grown, and need to be more financially stable so they feel less concerned with spending money. People need to be spending money to encourage economic growth.
