Government surveys of the Japanese population reveal unprecedented numbers no longer see having children as “necessary,” with some 60% of men and women in their twenties and thirties seeing no need to bother reproducing.
The Cabinet Office public opinion polls, covering over 3,000 people, found an overall 38.7% of men and 46.4% of women saw no need to have children.
Of these, 63% of those in their twenties and 59% of those in their thirties had no interest in children.
Additionally, 55.1% of respondents opposed the statement “The husband should work outside and protect the family,” an increase of 3% from the previous survey.
The government explains the changes as being because “diversification of people’s ways of life has proceeded.”
Many are interpreting these results not so much as a lack of interest, but rather a lack of ability – general perceptions of both marriage and childrearing are that they are prohibitively expensive for those of only average means…

“Diversification of people’s ways of life has proceeded.”= Babies are expensive now. Why bother?
...?
when wasn't babies expensive?
When there weren't any.
Just imagine if their entire team is babies.
What the hell does that mean?
LOL. More women would rather not have children. I didn't know dudes like children so much. Guess the girls don't want to waste their lives doing "what's expected of women." Time to PAAAAAARRTAA!!!
It means that they are all maggots too.
Hahaha.
WHOLE COUNTRY IS BABIES!
Tiny tiny babies! nom nom nom
Does rearing team of babies cost more than firing Sasha for twelve seconds?
Yes, yes it does.
SOMEONE BUILDING DIAPER CHANGING STATION.
anon at 11:45 made me think of the watchers from Drakengard (remember the fucking big blue babies?)
I think this what you get when you have Host Clubs.
Because in Japan, living expenses isn't cheap, real estate isn't ether the cost of renting a Apartment in Japan that is 12 square-meters room which is small for a Family of 3 I can understand isn't good future for a family to live in.
This is GOOD, because in China you have 2m2 to live there, imagine to live on 2m2 all because of fucking over population! Down with the fucking babies!
in third world countries , where you make as many as you can and hope one of them will get rich enough to support you in the future . or at least enough will survive to support you .
and that why japan's is going to lose 2/3 of their population in less than a 100 years. lol.
nihon owata
@ anon 12:02
unfortunately, they actually multiply their problem this way, not solve it - if there are not enough resources to support your family, the next generation will have even less.
@ anon 15:48
All the problems concerning humanity can be solved once it's extinct - rational thinking at its finest. :P
@Darkrockslizer
>>unfortunately, they actually multiply their problem this way, not solve it
Lol no.
@Anon 20:52
Lol no.
@anon 20:52
It is widely known that children from poor families have next to no chance of successful future - read "The Bell Curve".
This is why US cut on childbirth benefits as it only encouraged poor people to give more birth.
The people with such narrow-minded thinking do not take any responsibility about the lives of children they create, fated to suffer from hunger like they do.
they make children because they are too poor to buy condoms! this from what i see around me. 3rd world country here...
You can always ejaculate outside... It doesn't cost anything... 2nd world country here.
what kind of sick fuck are you? it's blasphemy to ejaculate outside!
you dont deserve you'r life.
@ anon 06:28
God made all men masturbating.
Also if you don't like to take it outside then just count the days and bare with it. Or put it in another hole. Women, animals, cheese... they're everywhere, once you take a good look around.
19:07 - babies. multiply. haha.
@ Darkrockslizer
cheese ftw XD
@ Anon 00:21
they could just have Kinky butt sex (KBS)
When they were an investment. There is a reason that farm families bore as many children as possible. It meant more hands to do the work. As work moved out of the home children became less useful. Add to that the rising cost in time effort and money to prepare you're child for the world. It didn't take much to teach a thirteen year old to till, now you ned twenty two years schooling to be functional.
Children are now all cost with no tangible return. Yes you love them, but do you love them 400,000$ and all of you're fre-time for 18 to 20 years?
Humans don't think only rationally when it comes to children. Also, without children your out of the gene pool and fail in the eyes of evolution.
It's all good. If you make humanity extinct and remain as the last living specimen, you become the crown of human evolution - there's nobody around to oppose that!
^true!
@Anon 00:48
Yeah, I hate swimming, the gene pool sucks horrifically anyways. Happier on dry land, am I.
rich men are more likely to sire lots of poor bastards into various poor families because they get around more and as a result of being a rich kid believe they are entitled to whatever thay want so do not take responsibility. the most heinous wrongs are caused by the rich who also as a result of their greed, create suffering among the poor.
oh and regardless of the bell curve, the poor in america have the most children world wide.
Before 1950 and all those silly child labour laws.
Back then children were profitable, just send them to the factories, send the smart one to school, and the second smartest one to the military.
lol japanese population will greatly decrease on 2012...uh oh...
I'm sure they'll come out with things like hand-made babies?
you mean like babies for the DS?
Naw, genetically made babies.
Naw, hand-made babies from clay.
Haven't you heard every folklore holds a lil' bit of truth? Maybe this had already happened. Maybe now is before.
Maybe now that men have discovered perfect hi-tech replacements for the women who fail to adapt in the course of evolution, women will discover that seed-saturated clay penises can do the same that men can and they were never needed!?
When child Labor wasn't illegal.
that degraded into TF2 spamming fast.
the pc version > all other collective video games.
Babies are expensive? if these people spent only a fraction of what they spend going out, partying or buying useless stuff they could easily afford children...
That is somewhat true...but with the way that the cost of living is rising compared to general salaries.
People need to stop letting corporate bankster scum soak up all of the money.
Becauses primarily its the Japanese race that has brought Japan to where it is today. Somehow I doubt Japan would have reached technological supremacy if it was inhabitated by Australoids.
I just can't believe how epically retarded people can be. Children are unnecessary, oh yeah Japan doesn't need Japanese people of course not.
2D girls can't bear children for you.
Yes they can. Our children live in the 2.5th dimension and they're effing beautiful.
here's the thing. If human population dies, no one can make 2D girls anymore.
I doubt the human population will die due to lack of reproduction.
Exactly and you know what the entire world's population needs to seriously decrease. Even if we are brought down to less then 1/4 our current population we would still have far too many people on the planet.
Probably just only the Japanese.
here's the problem:
attractive, intelligent Japanese girls aren't breeding. Stupid, ignorant, mostly-ugly Chinese and Africans are like rats.
Oh wait, I forgot white-trash illiterate Americans too. Anyone seen Idiocracy?
Have you seen "Children of Men". I'd be crazy if that happened.
yup,i've seen it.
They are not effected by the media views and what is being told to them how women and men relationship work.
And i always wondered,smarter people distract themself with all kinds of things.
Fuck dude, the first six minutes of 'Idiocracy' is the true future of America at the very least. I do look forward to such sterling tv shows in that movie that are above and beyond what is being shown now.
Advanced technological cultures thru-out the world seem to be suffering this dilemma and so a good old fashion World War IV will be the only true solution. Being the Advanced countries Nuking the FUKE out of the over producing third world dumpsters to solve two problems in one swoop.
Population explosions and south of the border shits stealing uor jubs!
Tok oer jobsss!
Well... Those south border shits that take your jobs actually pick the jobs you wouldn't bear to even think of doing...
we need to lessen people. we eat up too much if we dont decrease we will be killing the planet even if we live "green".
This problem only exists in third world countries, most of the developed nations can provide for themselves.
Old people will be brought out of retirement to work in the manga/anime industry, and the females will all look like the ones in "Speed Racer", "Yawara!", or, gods forbid, "Peanuts".
@Anonymous 19:07:
Yeah, Peanuts! Lucy was the original tsundere character!
* fap *
war is the only answer.
we can still try to make that happen :P
