Japan, once a booming economic superpower, has faced a persistent decline in fertility rates since 1989, currently standing at an alarming 1.2, necessitating urgent action.
Despite significant government efforts, including childcare leave policies and direct financial incentives, Japan's fertility crisis has worsened, leading to a birth rate lower than the historical average.
The decline in birth rates, now echoing globally, poses risks to older populations. It threatens future productivity, social structures, and ultimately, economic stability.
Countries like Japan emphasize the importance of family support policies, promoting work-life balance, and encouraging shared household responsibility as necessary strategies to combat declining birth rates.
