@purplespeckledappleeater8738 And This Western Neoliberalism has never worked in Japan . Because they were never allowed to both by the Govt and the People . Japanese and Korean culture are different from the rest of the world . even their left leaning portions of society love their cultural norms and sometimes takes stances that we can surely consider "Far Right" from the perspective of western neoliberalism. One example is that of waves of illegal Chinese and North Korean immigrants coming into Japanese archipelago , which both Center Right LDP and Left JCP has decided to put an end to. or regarding disputes with neighbors especially Russia and China or allowing foreign workers to stay on their soil and attain citizenship , there were stances where Japanese left wing were far harsher than LDP.
And no.
1) Japan has comparatively lower divorce rates compared to Many European and American "neo-liberal" society despite being amongst higher in Asia and certainly they are way way better-off compared to their Neighbors like South Korea , PR China and Russia .
2) But problem is even Couples with happy relations and including Couples with core conservative values do not wish for a Child at all. even despite Governmental Pressure and promises . Simply because work culture of Japan is toxic and do not support innovation .And this is not a hate statement but a Dark fact that is prevalent in many East Asian countries ,specially developed ones like South Korea and Taiwan. Why would a couple even want to bring a baby to this world when they could barely afford to feed themselves. I am not implying that Japanese are living in Poverty but rather are living under economic hardships and the Govt despite really wanting to help them , couldn't figure out that the core issue is the traditionalist view that refuses to liberalise the way of Japanese work-ethics . There is simply no flexibility in thinking and how to run it despite Japanese workforce has the best coordinated and best teamworking both skills and in spirit.
3) for the very same reason , The cost of living is too high , couples have to work for more hours ,even overworking just to get paid enough in a way the couple's joint savings could hardly sustain them due to rising cost of consumer goods following the bubble collapse . any other ways or innovations to add or earn money is treated as "dishonest" and "corruption" by the society and it's a fact .
That's why Minimalism and less consumerism is an ever growing idea in Japan .
4) Entrepreneurship and free lancing is something Young Japanese love to do and are committed to in order to escape the toxic mainstream workforce and have work-time flexibility which isn't available in Mainstream and for that they often have to go against a traditionalist society and work in discrete . It is slowly getting recognition and admiration it rightfully deserves but status quo hasn't changed drastically to make an impact. That's why Many of them as well as from South Korea actually have to move to the US or any other European nation , though overwhelmingly they all prefer the US to make it work out. it is not criminal persecution but norms of society.
Not just Japan but Asian societies are very much traditionalist . I am from India and here many educated and uneducated people alike want their sons and daughter to work and earn money . Despite progressivism , we didn't threw our tradition under the rock for muh choice the way western neoliberalism doctrinates it's followers to. Women are very much independent from men with the exception in some economic and culturally backward areas but most are committed to their relationships or just don't prefer to marry at all .
In western Democracies let's admit it , Neoliberalism and progressivism was weaponised to be used against traditionalism and it worked successfully . People in west , specially Whites , trashed their own culture and Christian upbringings In Asian societies due to sometimes hardcore hatred for outside values be it western neoliberalism or sino-soviet left ideology , people prefer to live and die with their traditionalistic views . Many in India don't have historically carried no animosity towards Trans-people up until recent backlash to western progressivism , but that doesn't mean you are free to go after Children. Even our own Trans people community view this as vile act and side often with conservatives on this issue.
And No I don't hate Japanese society except for some stances like their WW2 attitude and tampering with history, but this is a fact .
Neoliberalist and progressive ideas may often lead to divorce like situation but it is not the core reason. What about domestic violence or because of the couples have different viewpoints of life even before neoliberalism term was invented. Russia and Middle Eastern nations , despite having some of world's highest divorce , have zero respects towards Western neoliberalism , having either mocked it or threw any progressivist to jail or even capital punishment . and their religious codes , especially in Middle East where Islam is in Majority , has to do with it.
