What are the main social problems facing Japan besides the low birth rate?

There are many countries with low birth rates, but there are only a few countries that are more serious, and Japan is one of them. Japan's birth rate is about to fall below 1, and such a birth rate will have many negative effects on Japan, such as a shortage of young and middle-aged labor, a shortage of pensions, a serious aging population and a series of social problems. It would be nice if Japan was plagued by only one problem, the low birth rate, but there are many, many other social problems in Japan.

Here's what I think:

1. Repressive workplace culture.

The word "social animal" originated in Japan, and it is very scary in the Japanese workplace. Because the workplace hierarchy in Japan is very serious, the boundary between subordinates and superiors is very clear, and many bosses treat their subordinates very harshly, which makes many people feel that going to work is a heavy psychological burden. In addition, the workplace culture in Japan is relatively conservative, and everyone is afraid of taking responsibility and not daring to be in the limelight, so the workplace environment will make many people feel depressed and suffocated.

Second, there is a shortage of labor.

For example, although Japan's pension industry is very advanced, many nursing homes cannot recruit enough nursing workers due to the shortage of nursing workers. As a result, Japan recruits a large number of laborers from China, Southeast Asia, and other regions every year to maintain the normal functioning of society.

Third, the aging population is serious.

Japan's aging population is one of the most aging countries in the world. Serious aging will also cause a series of social problems, these problems are plaguing Japan all the time, and it also makes the Japanese people's confidence in their country declining, and the whole society has entered a low-desire society, and the social environment is very depressing.

Japanese society is also facing problems such as low desire, serious aging of the population, and sluggish economic development. Japan's economy is now in a state of collapse due to the economic crisis 20 years ago, and the country's aging population is seriously affecting the country's economic development.

Ageing is a serious problem. Because of the reluctance to have children in the early days, a married family has to bear the pressure of raising four elderly people.

There is also the issue of an aging population, which is very serious in Japan and is already at the forefront of the world.

China's birth rate is not lower than Japan's, and compared with 2019 data, China's birth rate is compared to Japan's.

In 2019, there were 14.65 million births in China, and the birth rate is the lowest in China since 1949. In addition, the birth rate in Japan in 2019 was one point lower than the previous year. Among Japan's 47 prefectures, Okinawa Prefecture has the highest birth rate; And the lowest birth rate is in Tokyo, only.

Distribution of birth rates.

Overall, Africa, Southwest Asia, and Latin America have the highest birth rates, with most countries having 40 births; This is followed by Southeast Asia and South Asia, where the birth rate is 20 29; Europe and North America, Russia and Australia, with a birth rate of 14 20; The lowest are China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore in East Asia, with birth rates below 13.

On a national basis, the countries with birth rates of 50 are concentrated in Africa, including Niger, Mauritania, Rwanda and Kenya; The countries with the lowest birth rates are all found in Europe. For example, countries with birth rates < 10 12 are Germany, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden (Japan and China are East Asian countries).

The above facts show that the high birth rate is concentrated in the low latitudes, especially in the tropics and subtropics. The low birth rate is concentrated in the middle and high latitudes. If we compare the birth rate with the distribution of population density, we can see that the birth rate of Western Europe and Japan, which have relatively high population density, is relatively low. Birth rates are quite high in Africa, West Asia and Latin America, where the population is relatively sparse.

The above content refers to People's Daily Online - The number of births in Japan in 2019 hit a new low.

The above content refers to People's Daily - The birth rate of Chinese population hit a new low in 2019 Do young people not want to have babies?

Why is China's birth rate at an all-time low? Why are Chinese couples reluctant to have children now?

The main social problems in Japan are: the social problems brought about by the aging population; The gap between rich and poor in Japan is very high; There is a shortage of labor in Japan.

How serious is the population problem in Japan? First of all, let's look at a set of data, the number of deaths in Japan increased by 10,000 people year-on-year, a record high; The number of newborns was the lowest since the end of World War II at 10,000; The highest number of married couples was 10,000. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's annual population survey report released today clearly reflects the current state of Japan's population problem.

Here are the highlights of an excerpt from Wall Street**. Even after taking into account immigration, Japan's total population in 2013 was 10,000 fewer than the previous year, and the population growth rate in 2013 was only a significant decrease compared to the same period last year. According to research by the National Population Institute and the Ministry of Social Security, Japan's population will shrink to 99.1 million, and by 2060, the population will only fall to between 10,000 and 10,000.

The largest cause of death is cancer, which accounts for, followed by heart disease, which accounts for. In Japan, breast cancer has been the cause of the highest number of deaths in daily life since its inception in 1981. The mortality rate for men in the age group of 15 to 29 years is twice as high as that of women.

The number of newborn babies in Japan has been on a downward trend since the second baby boom in 1973.

How serious is Japan's population problem? How bad is Japan's demographic problem? Let's take a look at the annual population report released today by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, which clearly shows the current state of Japan's population problem.

Wall Street** excerpts Japan's 2013 death toll increased by 10,000 year-on-year, a record high. Even when immigration is factored in, Japan's total population in 2013 increased by 10,000 from the previous year. According to a study by Japan's National Population Research Institute and the Ministry of Social Security, it is assumed that on average each woman will have one child (slightly lower than the current level).

Japan's population is expected to shrink to 99.1 million in the windy year, and only 100 million by 2060. The death toll in 2013 was 100 million. 2.

Suicide is the leading cause of death among young people. Since 1981, cancer has been the largest cause of death in Japan. In the age group of 15 to 29 years, the mortality rate for men is twice as high as for women.

Of course, the main reason for suicide is suicide. Japan has a total of 10,000 births, the fewest since World War II. Since the second baby boom in 1973, the number of newborns in Japan has been decreasing.

Japan's crisis is both a demographic crisis and an economic crisis.

Whenever we think of Japan, we first think of Japan as a developed country, and at the same time, we think that Japan has a very good welfare package. This is true, but because each country and region has its own problems, there are various crises in Japanese society itself. Because Japan's economic development has reached a certain level, when Japan's birth rate is further decreasing, Japan's total population is gradually decreasing, so Japan's population problem will further bring more crises, and at the same time, it will also give rise to a series of economic problems.

Japan's biggest crisis may be a demographic problem.

From my personal point of view, the biggest crisis in Japanese society is the population problem, and although the total population of Japan has reached more than 100 million, the number of newborns in Japan is very small because the birth rate in Japan has remained low for many years. As Japan's aging population worsens, the low birth rate may lead to more serious demographic problems, which in turn will lead to economic problems in Japanese society. <>

The root cause of Japan's economic problems lies in the demographic problem.

We can try to understand it this way: when the number of young people in a country and region is very large, the country and region itself will produce a corresponding demographic dividend. For Japanese society, it is precisely because the number of new students in Japan is very small that the number of young people who can participate in the workforce is not high, which is why there are various economic problems in Japan.

In addition, because of Japan's own loose monetary measures, this approach can solve Japan's economic problems for a short time, but at the same time, it will also delay economic problems until the next 10 to 30 years. If we do not resolve the weakening of consumption power and the slowdown in economic development caused by the demographic problem, Japanese society may face even more serious economic and social problems.

Demographic issues. Japan's population decline is staggering. According to the latest data released by Japan**, in the past year, Japan's population has decreased by 10,000 year-on-year.

The decline is not surprising, Japan's population has been declining for 11 consecutive years. However, Japan** regretfully announced that the decline of 10,000 was the largest decline in Japan's population since comparable data became available in 1950. Due to the pandemic, the number of foreigners in Japan has decreased.

But more importantly, the death toll in Japan is far greater than the number of newborns. Although in the past year, 10,000 new births have been born in Japan, but the number of deaths has reached 1.44 million. So, the population is getting smaller and smaller.

Although many countries are facing an aging population, the Japanese have to admit that of the world's 20 most populous countries, only Japan has a declining population.

I think the biggest crisis in Japanese society right now is the crisis of their volcanic eruptions, and if the local volcanoes in Japan erupt on a large scale, it is very likely that this small island nation will be destroyed.

The biggest crisis in Japanese society is the decline in the number of births, and the local economic problems are not very serious.

Japan's lifetime fertility rate rose from 2012. The lifetime fertility rate refers to the average number of children born to a group of women of the same age after they have passed the childbearing years. Since 2005, Japan's fertility rate has gradually rebounded from its record lows, but it is still below the replacement rate.

5. The more young people come to the stool, the less they come. In 2013, 10,000 couples married in Japan, a record low since World War II. The average age of marriage for women in Japan is three years behind the average of 20 years ago.

The age at which a woman's first child is born is up to the age of age. According to Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare), work-life balance is one of the important reasons for the rise in women's reproductive age. Although Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo has introduced special support policies for working mothers, Japan's financial subsidies for families with children account for only 1% of Suixiao's GDP, while the proportion of the United Kingdom and Sweden is as high as 3%.

Recently, there has been a proposal to increase the fertility rate by shortening the duration of education. to solve the problem of declining fertility. But this approach doesn't solve the problem.

The reason for this is that whether or not to have children depends on the individual's wishes. The cost of childbearing has a direct impact on fertility and there is no direct link between the time spent in education and fertility. There are three reasons.

First. Whether or not to have children depends on one's wishes. This is the most direct factor affecting fertility.

The most direct influencing factor for a person's choice to have children is his or her personal wishes. Specifically, a person will take concrete action only if he is willing to have children on his own. And if a person doesn't want to have children.

Regardless of the outside world? None of them will change his mind. Therefore, personal preference is the most direct factor affecting fertility.

Whether the duration of education is shortened or extended. It doesn't matter what impact He Kukai has on this issue. Second.

The cost of childbirth has a direct impact on fertility rates. From a practical point of view, the factor that has a direct impact on fertility is the cost of childbirth. Specifically, the cost of having a child, raising and educating a child, and the impact of having a child on your career development.

It has a very direct impact on whether a person chooses to have children. This factor can play a decisive role in a person's choice to have children. If we want to increase the fertility rate, the key is to reduce the cost of childbirth.

Third. There is no direct relationship between the length of schooling and fertility. Shorten the duration of education.

It does not increase fertility. There is no direct correlation between the length of education and the fertility rate. Specifically, longer periods of schooling do not reduce fertility.

And the short duration of education will not increase fertility. In fact, as a result, a longer period of education results in a better education. Possess greater capabilities.

So that their career development is smoother and their life is better. Such a state is actually more conducive to increasing the fertility rate. Therefore, it is impractical, impractical, and unfeasible to increase fertility by shortening the length of education. Japan.
