While the aging population is an issue, I believe that the bigger issue is population declination. There aren’t any incentives at all to have children in Japan whether it’s maternal benefits, social services, etc. Also, I’d like to note that once this young generation becomes old, there will simply be no people to look after them. For a technologically advanced and one of the richest countries out there, it is surprising that Japan is one of the unhappiest nations out there. Maybe due to to the overwhelming overtime stress, society expectations, low wages. I think it mostly falls on the Japan government and more policies / incentives must be implemented to quickly rectify the issue.

雖然人口老齡化是一個問題，但我認為日本更大的問題在於人口數量下降。日本沒有出台任何鼓勵生育的政策，不管是產婦福利還是社會服務都沒有提供。而且我認為一旦年輕一代變老，就根本沒有可以照顧他們了。日本是一個技術先進，世界上最富裕的國家之一，但同時卻又是世界上幸福度最低的國家之一。或許這是由於巨大的加班壓力，社會期望和低工資造成的。我認為這主要是日本政府的責任，他們必須實施更多的政策/激勵措施來快速解決這個問題

Devin Stambolziovski sorry but I disagree with you. Sure mentality is part of the issue, but is not a fundamental reasoning. I’m sure there are many people wanting to raise children of their own in Japan, but I think it has more to do with one person’s financial situation. When people are being overworked for slave wages and are denied any social services, do you really think these people would have children even if they wanted to? Also, I have heard people have the risk of losing their jobs even if they take a short time off to be with family.

抱歉，我不同意你的觀點。肯定，心態是一部分原因，但不是根本原因。我肯定很多日本人是願意撫養孩子的，但我認為這更多的與個人的經濟狀況有關。當人們瘋狂的工作卻只能拿到那麼一點工資，並且無法獲得任何社會服務的時候，就算他們想要生孩子，他們也不會去生。而且我聽説，日本人就算休小假和家人呆在一起也會有失業的風險。

Declining population is good for the environment. The Earth is overpopulated and it’s not sustainable in the long run, so I think it’s great to see a declining trend in population sizes in many first world countries.

對環境來説，人口下降是一件好事。現在地球人口過多，從長遠來看，這是不可持續的，所以我認為許多第一世界人口下降是一件好事。

I don’t think declination of population is the main problem, because the planetis facing the problem of overpopulation.

我認為人口下降不是什麼大問題，因為地球正面臨人口過剩的問題。

Their problem could be alleviated or maybe solved with controlled immigration.

日本的問題可以通過有限度的外來移民來緩減

Countries that usually enter the category of “1st world” naturally have lower populations.

第一世界國家的人口往往都較少。

“there will be no people to look after them” -- does it have to be people? How about robots?

“未來沒有人可以照顧他們”

必須要是人嗎？機器人怎麼樣？

People will maybe start to figure out that advanced technologies won’t make someone happier. You can say that it’s useful, sure it is, but in the end, we feel more useless and less human especially with the fact that we do no longer need to see someone in real life or have contact with him/her. + for sure, I do agree with you, they don’’t have the time nor the money to raise childrens.

人們或許會開始發現先進技術並不會讓人們變得更加的幸福。你可以説先進的技術很有用，這當然沒有錯，但最後我們會覺得自己沒有價值，變得沒有人情味，尤其是因為有了先進的技術，我們不需要在現實生活中也能見到某個人，並與他或她產生聯繫。當然，我同意你的觀點，他們沒有時間沒有金錢養育孩子

The declining birth rate directly contributes to the aging population

出生率下降直接導致了人口老齡化

I agree with you. The source of the problem is because of declining birth rate. But I understand japanese people feeling. There’s a lot of reasons why they don’t want to have a child. Some of the reasons is the long working hour, expensive price, etc. I have watched an interview of japanese couple,they are married but decide not to have a child.

我同意你的看法。問題的根源是出生率的下降。但我理解日本人的感受。他們不想要孩子的原因有很多。一些人是因為工作時間長，物價高等。我曾看過一對日本夫婦接受採訪的視頻，他們已經成婚但決定不生孩子。

They said the reason is because both of them get home from work around 10 pm so there’s no way they could care for a children. I think japanese work culture have to change, office workers in japan are expected to work overtime everyday. The couldn’t care for their family if they work overtime everyday. I even have a japanese acquaintance that say that he is married with his work.

他們説原因是因為他們兩人要到晚上十點才能工作回家，所以他們沒辦法關心生不生孩子這個問題。我認為日本的工作文化必須改變，日本上班族每天都要加班。如果每天都要加班的話，那麼根本就沒有辦法照顧自己的家庭。我認識一個日本人，他説自己已經嫁給了工作。

While we that live in other country “work so we could live” japanese are " live to work". Not only that the live expenses also getting more expensive, they can’t afford to have a child. And with this new regulation that increase the pension age it will be even tougher. The young people can’t get promoted, job vacancy that could be filled with young workers is not available because the company still maintain their old workers. How could young people make a child while they couldn’t get a job or couldn’t get promoted? If they couldn’t get a job or get promoted they couldn’t make money to raise children. This things resulted in declining of birth rate after that of course resulted aging population.

生活在其他國家的人是為了生活而工作，而日本人是為了工作而活着。生活成本的提高使得他們更加要不起孩子了。而隨着提取養老金年齡的提高，形勢變得更加的嚴峻。年輕人無法獲得提拔，空缺出來的崗位無法由年輕人填補，因為老員工依然還在公司裏面。如果年輕人找不到工作或者無法得到晉升的話，那麼他們怎麼敢生孩子？就算生了孩子，也沒有錢去養孩子。這導致了日本出生率的下降，當然也導致了人口老齡化。

In my opinion culture and religion has the biggest impact on fertility rate, if you look among developed countries with high birth rate, israel has the highest at 3.11 and france with largest muslim population in eu

在我看來，文化和宗教對出生率的影響是最大的，在發達國家裏面，以色列的出生率是最高的，達到了3.11，還有法國，它是歐盟國家裏面穆斯林人口最多的國家。
