1. Reassessing the value of children

Abstract

There are a number of reasons why Japan's birth rate continues to go down. The fertility rate in 1996 was 1.43% but dropped further to 1.39% in 1997. One of the reasons is the shift in Japanese society from a group-oriented to an individual-oriented lifestyle. There is also a weakening of social and cultural norms over the issue of having children in Japan. The rising costs of child care and childbirth plus the lack of affordable housing are forcing Japanese individuals to marry later.

Abstract

Japan's aging population is having an effect on its economy because of the natural conservative tendencies of older people, who are reluctant to make changes to lift Japan out of the economic slump in 1998. The number of Japanese people over the age of 65 is expected to rise from 16% of the population in 1998 to 30% of the population by 2035. An increasing grey population is counterbalanced by a decline in the birth rate, which has left the number of young people lower than the aging population.
