I read an article in The Times a ways back that said there is like zero population growth in places like Japan. The article said that it has gotten so bad that the government was offering incentives for women to get married and have A CHILD, not children, mind you, just a single child.
If life is so tremendous for Japanese women why would MOST of them not want to consider sharing that life with any offspring?
Not trying to be controversial, just would like to understand.
And I do not necessarily disagree with most of the observations made on the thread. I have not the experience to make a judgement either way as I have never visited the far east.
I guess because of my personal experiences I approach similar situations with what most would consider odd points of view.
