I find this all very interesting and I personally appreciate those that have commented on this with first hand experience.

If I may be so bold and ask Nyororin or whoever else happens to live in Japan some further questions about this.

1. How many children are considered a "large" family. (Here in the states I'd say its 4-5 but I guess that depends on your "class" standing)
2. At what age does the average Japanese woman get married? (I believe this is important because if they are getting married later, they are having kids(assuming they are waiting till marriage) later which translates to shorter amount of time to reproduce (if I remember the normal stopping point is about 40-45 I think, but I'm not a woman nor a Doctor so I'm just guessing, please don't shoot me)).
3. Last, which is looked more favorably upon, the working mother or the housewife?
