Workers urged: Go home and multiply -
01-26-2009, 04:38 PM
Well once again Japan's birthrate and aging problem has made headline news. Companies at the request of the government are encouraging employees to go home early 2 days a week to spend time with their families and to make more babies.
For those of you who do not know Japan has a serious problem with their birthrate as it is the lowest in the world at 1.34 well below the 2.0 it needs to maintain the population. Add in the the fastest aging society in the world and you have the makings of a disaster waiting to happen. Japan wont even have enough citizens to work the jobs needed in the coming years. I thinks its great the government is getting involved and trying to get the population to have more children (except for the Diet member who resigned because he called Japanese women baby making machines) but its going to take more than going home early 2 days a week to fix this problem. Its not just the long working hours but many other social problems and factors and i think many of these factors need to be addressed before a plan of action can be crafted to fix the problem. They are being encouraged to have more children during a economic downturn thats kind of ironic. Any thoughts? speak up. here is the article. Workers urged: Go home and multiply - CNN.com

Having talked to my wife a litle bit about this topic before, I don't really think the proposed solution will work. How she explained it is that after the first child many of the typical salaryman/housewife couples see their job as done with respect to having kids. Allready having a kid to carry on the family name and take care of them when they are older they pursue other activities and sometimes sex elsewhere. With that kind of perspective the only way is to change the burden of having kids and also the perspective of what it is to have kids.

First time I've ever heard something like this. Kinda' scary, but kinda' funny if you think about it:
"Gentlemen, we need to adjourn this meeting early because we all need to go have sex with our wives." "I don't have a wife." "Men, get Johnson here a wife. Then Johnson?" "Yes?" "Have sex with her." How in the world do people reach 1,000+ posts?  Skadoosh.

The reason Japanese folks are having less kids is mostly economical, the way I see it. Raising a child is expensive in Japan, and when the economy suffers it is natural for people to "cut back".

Whats the point of "Getting married" If your just going to go and do what you did before getting married. I myself am not interested in marriage (or having children), tho i thought marriage was all about "Being together forever" and all that other nonsense. Getting married to have children is possibly the dumbest thing iv ever heard. "Dont be dumb." When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
