      It’s already pretty nice. Having a baby here is affordable because of the birth allowance, and children’s healthcare is subsidized by local governments, making medical treatment essentially free until age 15–18. 

      People just don’t want to have kids and think about this: obstetricians and gynecologists who handle childbirth in some areas are struggling to stay afloat.

      Ohhhhh they’re so close to getting it. Here’s a hint. Childbirth is a fixed cost, while daycare, schooling, lost wages, emotional labor, food and clothing are a ….. wait for it …… *ding ding ding* that’s right a RECURRING cost with a roughly 20-year span! Thank you for playing, out of touch ancient politicians.

      it really doesn’t help that often even if you want children there is massive barriers with social issues. even free childbirth is just a, at the end there is one less bill in a pile of money to be spent.

      And now for our sleight of hand if they make childbirth free it will be only for non complicated ones and they will remove the child bonus stipend (which typically covers the cost anyways)

      I’m so surprised that it isn’t already.
      This is so ridiculous

      No point making it free when Japan has a working culture of waiting for bosses to leave before going back themselves. Kids and children need to be nurtured, and parents able to spend time throughout their childhood. The competitive economy is what makes going child-free considered a financial advantage, and having said that, even it is no longer an advantage these days.
