"Ultra-Low Birthrate: Japanese Society at a Crossroads" Rieko Suzuki Price: ¥748 #RiekoSuzuki #Books #BOOK #Nonfiction #Education Japan's declining birthrate is beginning to take on a serious aspect. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's demographic projections show unbelievable numbers, and Japan will eventually enter an "ultra" low-birthrate and aging society that no other country has experienced. Why is the birthrate declining? What are the reasons why Japanese women cannot have children? Analyzing various phenomena related to marriage, childbirth, and childcare, such as hyper-single syndrome, the childcare war between parents, and the problems of the bonds between couples and families, this book also examines the issues of gender roles and values unique to Japan that contribute to the declining birthrate.
