'Parasitic singles' and Japan's demographic problem

Funny how you assume that anyone who comes to Japan goes on welfare. That's really racist. In Canada and the U.S. some of the best and brightest are immigrants.

Hows it racist? He didnt point out a single race. It is true that most immigrants DO go on welfare when they enter a new country. Those "best and brightest" are few and far in between in the scope of things.

When you have so many accounts that you can't remember if you logged in on the Alt-Righter to throw jabs at Muslims or on the Anarchist account to bring down the city hall.

Well, middle-eastern families do have one of the highest birth rates in the world.

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.

There's been shifts lately, more and more women (and men) focus on themselves and their immediate relationship, foregoing children. 'Primal' instinct is not that hard-wired.

And the east is much more rigid with how they treat genders in the workplace, hence japanese women just not forming steady relationships with romantic partners at all, because it'll impact their job and chances at promotions. It's not that strict in the west, so women can have jobs and a family life if they choose.

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.

We're talking about japan, not russia. And it's a societal pressure. Get a long-term boyfriend/husband? You're pretty much guaranteed to not get a promotion from then on because you're just expected to have kids and then either work the job you have now, or preferrably just become a stay-at-home mother while the dad works his ass off to support.

I think you're underestimating the Japanese work ethic and how much the women there work: http://www.news18.com/news/lifestyle...y-1593725.html
