“Is declining birthrates a problem?”

“Yes.”

“How many siblings did you have?”

“6-8.”

“How many kids do you have?”

“0-2.”

“How should we deal with the birthrate?”

“Young people should have more kids.”

The lack of self awareness is staggering. They should all know that it’s not that easy, because they clearly had the same issues themselves, except things are worse now.

“出生率下降是個問題嗎？”

“是的。”

“你有多少兄弟姐妹？”

“6-8個。”

“你有多少孩子？”

“0-2個。”

“我們應該如何應對出生率問題？”

“年輕人應該多生孩子。”

這種缺乏自我意識令人震驚。他們應該知道這並不容易，因為他們顯然也面臨相同的問題，只是現在情況更糟。

Oh man. I watched this to the end. The old man saying that we should all keep moving forward and have adventures like family life - because these things define our lives. That was very profound and meaningful to hear. I’m married and we have a daughter. We plan for child no. 2. It is whirlwind of emotions having a child but anxiety and stress fade away when I see my daughter laugh and learning about life.

哦，天哪。我一直看到最後。那位老先生説，我們都應該繼續向前走，像家庭生活一樣去冒險——因為這些事情定義了我們的生活。聽到這些真是深刻而有意義。我已婚，還有一個女兒。我們計劃要第二個孩子。養孩子是一場情感的旋風，但當我看到女兒笑着學習生活時，焦慮和壓力就消失了。

As someone who is also from a larger family, 5 kids, I echo what that one gentleman said about the benefits of growing up in a group. You learn to advocate for yourself and others, you learn how to work cooperatively with others in stressful situations, you learn how to argue your points effectively, you learn how to stay humble too

作為一個來自大家庭的人，有五個孩子，我非常贊同那位先生所説的在集體中成長的好處。你學會為自己和他人發聲，學會在壓力情況下與他人合作，學會有效地表達自己的觀點，也學會保持謙遜。

When I was young I tried working and could not believe how brutal the workplace was. I realized at a very young age that I would be in no position to ever raise a child. I watched my parents life as well. I could see that it was hell for them. In middle age I was able to support a partner, a wife. That was enough for me. I would not want to be young these days.

我年輕的時候嘗試過工作，簡直不敢相信職場是如此殘酷。我很小就意識到自己根本沒有能力養活孩子。我也觀察過我父母的生活，看到他們的生活有多麼艱辛。在中年時，我能養活一個伴侶，一個妻子。對我來説，這已經足夠了。我不想在這樣的時代做年輕人。

I wish all these thoughtful seniors well. Live long and prosper.

我祝願所有這些深思熟慮的長者一切順利。願他們長壽繁榮。

The man talking about smartphones making us dumber and unquestioning was right to point out that it would be labeled as a conspiracy theory. But there are many of us that would swipe away and not engage with subjects that appear challenging or boring.

那位談論智能手機讓我們變得愚蠢和不質疑的男人指出，這會被標記為陰謀論，但我們中有很多人會選擇滑掉，不去參與那些看起來具有挑戰性或乏味的話題。

Very insightful video! I appreciate the openness of all the participants as well as the interviewers ability to ask good questions and make them feel comfortable. A lot of this information and ‘food for thought’ could be applied to other countries and cultures as well.

這段視頻很有見地！我欣賞所有參與者的開放態度，以及採訪者提出好問題並讓他們感到舒適的能力。這些信息和“思考材料”也可以應用於其他國家和文化。

I’m in my 20’s but i don’t know if i’ll opt to having kids. I feel like people shouldn’t just have kids because it’s “fun” as i’m hearing in this video. I would want to be in a position to provide ‘my kids’ with a really comfortable lifestyle, nothing too extravagant but well-balanced and short of struggle.

我現在20多歲，但不確定是否會選擇生孩子。我覺得人們不應該只是因為“有趣”而生孩子，就像在這個視頻中聽到的那樣。我希望能在一個能夠為“我的孩子”提供真正舒適生活的情況下，生活不需要過於奢華，但要平衡且少一些掙扎。

I lived in Japan for 10 years from 1997 and the population problem was already obvious. I asked people what Japan would do about it. They usually just said they never thought about it, but anyone who had an opinion would say “money” and/or “robots.” If I suggested immigration, they looked at me like I was from another planet. 25 years later, the problem has only gotten worse. I love Japan and the Japanese, but their “kick the can down the road” skills are beyond next level. Now there’s no more road.

我在日本生活了10年，從1997年開始，人口問題已經很明顯。我問人們日本會怎麼解決這個問題，他們通常只是説從來沒有考慮過，但任何有意見的人都會提到“錢”和/或“機器人”。如果我提到移民，他們看我的眼神就像我是外星人。25年後，這個問題只變得更嚴重。我愛日本和日本人，但他們的“推遲處理問題”能力真的是超乎想象。現在根本沒有路可走了。

I think its financal at the heart of the problem. When you have a good job and can still barely afford rent & food…it makes you think twice about your ability to financally take on the responsibility of children.

I love how that lady in white with the dog said..oh they should just have kids early, not even thinking about the younger generations financal status.

我認為這個問題的核心是經濟。當你有一份不錯的工作，卻仍然勉強負擔得起房租和食物時，它會讓你重新考慮你是否有能力在經濟上承擔撫養孩子的責任。我喜歡那個穿白衣服帶着狗的女士所説的，她居然認為大家應該早點生孩子，完全沒有考慮到年輕一代的經濟狀況。

@michellesp7805

Aww they’re so proud of their kids and grandchildren. I especially like how animated the middle child gentleman with the bald head is - good points

哦，他們對自己的孩子和孫子孫女感到如此自豪。我特別喜歡那個光頭的中間孩子，他説話時非常生動——觀點很不錯。
