#1 Well, he's not wrong. Japanese aren't having children and it's going to destroy them.

The real reason is the increase in women's status. A woman won't accept a man lower than her. As her status increases, the pool of acceptable men becomes smaller and smaller. She'd rather stay barren than accept a lesser man. Dismal but true.

#2 More unintended outcomes of science, the birth control pill, and denial of the natural order.

#3 A woman won't accept a man lower than her.

#4 Rapidly-greying Japan has one of the world’s lowest birth rates and authorities are trying out several policies to encourage people to have more children.

Population reduction in overcrowded Japan may not be a bad thing. Just don't rip up the social fabric by allowing in millions of foreign colonists to replace those missing workers.

#5 Exactly. Japan is crowded.

Increases in living standards have often accompanied falling populations as rents fall and wages rise.

#6 They should consider paying for the DNA of different ladies who don't want children. Then the young can continue enjoying their tentacle videos, living with the parents, and playing computer games while Japanese science has a a chance to stave off extinction if the birth rate doesn't rise again at some point.

If the people won't stave off extinction by doing what comes naturally, tell widdem.
