" The government will not fund for child daycares to help women not loose a potentially really well paying job. Daycare could possibly be the difference that Japan needs in order to help set the demographic straight. T.B. also said, "If companies gave greater protections to new, young hires in return for lessening the privileges of other employees, young couples would have a more stable basis on which to marry and raise families." Japan is not looking into taking those steps though. With the child birth rate being at 1.43 children per woman or family, it is almost promised that it may be to late to save Japanese people from "extinction." D.M. from The Economist statistically said, "Japan's population started falling in 2004 and is now aging faster than any other on the country. .
More than 22% of Japanese are already sixty-five or older. A report compiled with the government's co-operation two years ago warned that by 2060 the number of Japanese will have fallen from 127 million to about eighty-seven million, of whom almost 40% will be sixty-five or older". The sexual drive is at an all time low as well. Olga Yazhgunovich claims "forty-five percent of Japanese women aged sixteen to twenty-four are not interested in or despise sexual contact and more than a quarter of men feel the same way". Young people are opting out of sex and love altogether, preferring online porn, virtual-reality girlfriends and anime cartoons.The number of single people in Japan is at an all time high as well. A survey in 2011 found that 61% of unmarried men and 49% of women in Japan aged eighteen to thirty-four were not in any kind of romantic relationship as stated by The Voice of Russia. Fewer babies were being born in Japan in the year of 2012. That same year the number of elderly people sky rocketed. .
The Japanese government is very sexist in the way where marriage and kids is a burden to a women's work place.
