Stop killing off women's careers as soon as they're over 20. Accept stay-at-home dads.
Problem solved...if it weren't for the rigid as fuck societal/culture shite they have going on.
I just want my company to book me the same room!
There is no Bad RNG just Bad LTP
Look at the net 32billion DKK we spend every year on non-western immigration. Or maybe all the visitation popping up because immigrant gangs are fighting each other?
Well, they dont work in Denmark. Hat off to Japan if they can make it work.
That's like saying "Make women work as hard as men and accept unpaid overtime and super-competitive environments at work as well as desire to do work-related stuff outside of work, problem solved as far as lack of women representation goes!"
...most people are not wired that way.
No, that's another discussion. The women don't want to be tied down with marriage, so they choose careers over it. Doesn't mean work environments both for men or women are ideal...but that's what they choose to do. So, as a start, accepting stay-at-home dads and working women/moms is something.
Even after 15 years of residing in Sweden it's about 65% for labor migrants, just 60% for EU migrants, relatives, refugees and relatives to refugees are at 35% after 15 years. Labor migrants are at 50% the first year. Refugees are at like 5%, after 2 years like 10%.
Your 80-90% is wishful thinking.

While Japanese culture is stifled and definitely in trouble, population decline is a good thing and would be a good thing for all future generations of human on planet Earth.
Less people = less demand for climate altering energy/food sources and less want for environmental destruction like clearcutting.
Just for the record, Japan's been doing this lately in the form of notable tax breaks and other benefits to combat their aging population problems. Another issue is that the whole NEET/Hikkikomori issue is growing due to shifting sensibilities in younger Japanese citizens and the pervasive stigma against psychology, leading to these youth cracking and becoming shut-ins whose parents are ill-equipped to help them work through their breakdown (and unwilling to seek outside help in all but the most extreme cases, because doing so is viewed as a failure on the parents' end to provide for their child and prepare them for the 'real world'). Then there's the pressure of Japan's Lost Decade coming to a close (if it every really was a thing, but that's economic theories beyond me) so younger workers are being pressured to focus on their careers in order to ensure the economic bounceback takes place and isn't temporary.
There's a lot of factors at work and it all really boils down to how Japanese society is obsessed with saving face, maintaining the status quo for fear of being seen as a troublemaker, and elements of the growing rift between older generations and younger generations seen elsewhere in the modern, industrialized world. Nobody wants to pull the trigger, so to speak, that would push for some very uncomfortable growing pains in their society and political sphere, same as here in America albeit under different values/reasons/'rules.'

The problem is that Japan's population currently isn't sustainable. If their birth rates don't increase soon, their economy could collapse within the next few generations due to a lack of workers and a strict policy regarding immigration and migrant workers.
Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!
Most women have jobs in the western world but most of them also have kids, they make the time, it's in their biology. Any women in her 30s childless will tell you about the urge to have a kid, it's very primal. I wouldn't put the blame on the job that much, only alpha females are into career so hard that they might ignore biology telling them to have a kid, the rest will follow and have kids.
I would say that the morality and virtues changed so some women that aren't alpha's but want to have kids find that they have a hard time finding a mate to marry and have a kid. State wants to fix it with welfare for single mothers, but it's tone at expense of the nuclear family, the best enviroment to raise a kid.
Preferred choice under which circumstances? Perhaps it is financial pressures that are making them forego having kids and focus on career?
For example, in Russia there is a Maternity Capital program where you get payments for kids starting from second one. Substantial sum - about year and half of average wages. Statistics show that it works quite well.
