So what does that say about your Lebowsky anime avatar?
On topic, on of my co-workers is from Japan, came to the US for college, and she married here and had a kid. Our company asked her to go assist at our Japanese office for a few years, and while she agreed bc she was one of like two Japanese speaking employees that was an expert on the product, she told me she couldn't handle going back and staying in Japan where women are expected to be quiet. Fortunately, our office there. Is run relatively American style. Even my male colleagues that I've come to know over there say they can never go back to working for a Japanese company.
Place is crazy. That part about 20-hour work days isn't off. Though it's really more like 16 hour work day, then 4-8 hours of drinking with your boss and co-workers bc nobody can leave before the boss and you are expected to go out and drink afterwards bc if you don't you're considered an antisocial weirdo.
So if they get pregnant, they just end up getting married?

This is something people always ignore. It isn't realistic to have both the wife and husband work. Women want to be independent, they aren't submissive (which is a good thing) and because of that the way society used to work is completely fucked up. Conservatives say "its a culture problem", bullshit its a human problem.

Interesting article. I think it will take some time for the situation to improve. Something as expansive as workplace culture will likely take years to produce some kind of measurable change across the country. Legislation could probably be passed sooner rather than later but then there's the prevalent negative attitudes about women in the workplace that will take time to turn around as well.
I already expected this from the thread title, but it's disappointing to see so many people not even read the article in favour of spouting the usual nonsense while high-fiving eachother.

My grandma had 9, each had at least 2, most of them got pregnant around 14-17. my mom kinda distanced herself from everyone and had a kid at 25 after she had a good paying job, its kinda scary to visit my family now and watch the cycle continue, cousins are broke as fuck, dropped out of highschool, and pregnant at 15.
edit: SHIT IM NOT STEREOTYPING A RACES BIRTH RATE OR ANYTHING IM JUST SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MY GHETTO ASS FAMILY SORRY IF IT SEEMED OTHERWISE.
mexico's fertility rate isn't that high at 2.28. maybe in the past it was high but its dropping and will continue to drop.
You guys willing to move to Japan, find stable work, get married and raise a family? The problem isn't just about sexual gratification with a partner. That's superficial and the problems leading to low birth rates are deep. The article puts out insights, most of them commonly known already, but a very good summary nonetheless, and well-written.

Japan should have a program where they ship out japanese women to other countries to bring back husbands
The same Japan that has ethnically "Japanese only" bars? Ha, good luck with that one.

There are so many pretty girls on the streets. It's shocking that they don't get any love. Come On GAF. Do your work!

Would be interesting to see what % of these people living the sekkusu shinai shokogun life-style lives in Tokyo. Seems like the stressful work culture doesn't exists in all of Japan. Cities/towns in Kyushu and Okinawa at least felt a lot more relaxing then for example Tokyo and Osaka.
45% of Japanese women aged 16-24 are ‘not interested in or despise sexual contact’
According to OP, many of them don't want "love".

Lol yes. Let us base our expectations and understanding of sex on pornographs. Solid.
Porn isn't real life.

What are you talking about? Of course the average Japanese man isn't financially able to support a family on his own! That's a huge part of the problem, of course, as I said.
The problem is that in the modern world, one income is not enough for a family, and many women want more than to just be a housewife, while the more sexist societies (Japan, South Korea, etc., as I said) put serious barriers in the way of greater equality which make women not want to have children. And the fact is, it's women more so than men who have the greater say in whether a couple has children, particularly in the modern world where people know what contraception is. But regardless of who's choice it is, people, or couples, will not have children if they don't think it's financially possible to support them -- and in a country as sexist about the idea of married women working as Japan is, that's a huge, huge problem when one income is not, and will not be, enough to support a family.
That's another big part of the problem -- Japan, and some of the other countries with the lowest birthrates too (South Korea again is right there with them on this), hates immigrants (in the name of 'national purity' and the like), so they cannot fill in some of the gap with immigrants from countries with higher birthrates. It makes a the problem much worse.
Really interesting article. It sucks for the people that have to deal with a bunch of economic and social realities that are clashing in such a way as to make eschewing all romantic relationships a rational choice. Hopefully they manage to do something to actually change things and don't just get trapped in the current status quo.

Japanese having sex is an urban legend

Does the government not care about the diminishing population of young people? I'm surprised it hasn't started some sort of an initiative/program that subsidizes/somehow helps working moms to encourage career women to start a family without losing their jobs.

I'm not living there. It just caught my eye when I did vacation in Japan once. Even my wife said many look really damn hot. It's a shame they don't care about sex. The girls have amazing bodies. Just use them already.

There has been many initiatives and more are planned, but these things don't change over night.

Supposedly they are streamlining a national day care program to make having babies seem more desirable. You could also argue if the government improves the economic situation over there that would go a long way as to encouraging people to start marrying and starting families.
I spent some time in Osaka and I was shocked how ugly the girls were. Every girl I saw had caked on makeup that made them look hideous. In Tokyo that got balanced out but Osaka was weird. Short skirts and a kg of makeup on so many women.

I was making more stereotype jokes, being facetious. There really needs to be a font for sarcasm.
As far as what is killing libido I think the article hits on some points, especially about sexism in the workplace. It's not really just ire towards men I'm guessing, from what I've heard from friends who live or have lived there careers are just so exhausting that finding time to nurture relationships is difficult.

I see. But it makes sense of course. We were only running around through Tokyo. Of course they pay a little more attention over there I guess.Let's hope the people will be able to solve their problems in the future. Don't want them to end up like pandas (as someone already mentioned here).
