This population crisis in Japan is really pushing people to their limits.
In 2024, newborns will fall below 700,000, with the birth rate hitting a historical low, and by 2070, the population may only be 87 million. Starting in 2026, a 'single tax' will be imposed, costing up to 1,650 yen per month, along with child-rearing support funds.
However, young people are not interested in marriage and childbirth, and coercive measures are simply a temporary fix that doesn't address the root causes. It all seems quite surreal.
With workplace competition, the high cost of raising children, and limited social interactions, these core issues remain unresolved, which will only frustrate young people further.
It seems that the potential for the marriage market is huge in the future, so why not focus more on dating apps?
