      It’s not just Japan either, starting in the mid 90s pretty much every developed country saw the same thing, the number of children born to women who have children has remained about the same, the drops are all coming from the percentage of women who have no children.

      …… sigh.

      There is VERY valid reasons why people, as a whole, decide to „Not have kids“.

      If people want more people to have kids, They MUST CHANGE the environment and give Incentives that encourage more people having kids.

      Complaining and yelling at people to just „shut up and have kids“ will do nothing, except piss the young people off – hence making them even MORE likely to NOT have kids.

      Not that the people in power are going to change anything to make having kids more attractive… They are too beholden to the Bribes from the Major Companies to actually want any big changes.

      I heard it’s difficult to get an epidural during childbirth in Japan. That would *suck*.

      People who wish to be aocio-economically mobile will not consider kids.

      I mean, as someone who wants to have kids, I can’t blame anyone who doesn’t. They aren’t really making it easy or desirable to have a kid. Socially, having a child is hard, it can lock you out from doing a lot of the things that you want to do. Financially, having, and taking care of a child is expensive and time-consuming. But even putting all of those things aside. The current economic, geo-political, and even environmental outlook for the world isn’t looking all that great. People are afraid for what the world is going to be like, and I’ve met lots of people who feel like it would be unfair to bring a child into it.

      Many years ago, I heard a woman explain that the bargain women enter into is that they exchange sex and children for food and shelter (and protection from other men).

      And when women can get food and shelter (and don’t especially fear being attacked) *without a man*, then they are in no rush to enter into the “baby-bargain”.

      So, the lack of babies is an indicator of society *improving*! It’s more egalitarian and safer.
