As modern-day individuals struggle with low wages and high living costs, the number of people choosing not to marry and have children is increasing, worsening the declining birthrate issue. Japan, where fertility rates are at the bottom, faces its last chance to reverse the population decline by 2030. However, official statistics show that Japan's 'total fertility rate' was 1.20 last year, meaning each woman gives birth to an average of only 1.20 children in her lifetime, the lowest since 1947. Various analyses point to long working hours for men, leading to women juggling work and family responsibilities, resulting in couples being too busy to have children. The traditional culture of male dominance and female subservience, combined with the current economic downturn, contributes to the negative effect on birth rates. Efforts are being made by both private companies and the Japanese government to address the issue and seize the last opportunity to reverse the declining birthrate by 2030.
