The number of newborns in Japan fell below 700,000 for the first time since records began in 1899. The government data released Wednesday showed a 16th straight year of decline and it's faster than had been expected.
You’re 100% correct. And capitalism is going to fight tooth and nail to come up with capitalist explanations and capitalist solutions, whatever those may be.
At the end of the day, the masses go to jobs for long hours that they hate, even if they “followed their passion”. Capitalist hustle adds overwork, and takes from the joy of some work you may have potentially enjoyed. Not to mention jobs that are very necessary, yet very unenjoyable like construction or factory work or whatever. The pay is only enough to cover costs, so you have to keep working and can never escape.
All of this to prop up the billionaire class so they can enjoy giant mansions, Lamborghinis, yachts, and whatever.
Have a kid? I don’t have the money, nor do I want an innocent child living this life.
A large elderly population that needs benefits but isn’t producing labor’s requirements are met how in alternate systems if those needs require medicines that Japan must buy from other nations?
Remember in Japan’s case there are not enough workers paying into the system to maintain benefits for the growing elderly population which is expected to increase.
As always, this is only a problem for capitalism and billionaires needing more workers to exploit. I see no issues here.
Don’t worry, they will find a way to make it our problem

This is a massive problem for everyone, what are you talking about?
Some folks here are as devout believers in their system without any evidence just like those that regularly attend churches
Damn you’re smart! To let the rest of us know how smart you are, I have a few questions you can answer for us:
Explain how fewer young workers can produce enough in taxes to run the country.
Explain how a dwindling tax base will support the elderly.
Explain how to avoid an economic collapse as fewer and fewer people require fewer and fewer goods and services.
Some of y’all have the economic understanding of an angry 15-yo.
