While the aging population is an issue, I believe that the bigger issue is population declination. There aren’t any incentives at all to have children in Japan whether it’s maternal benefits, social services, etc. Also, I’d like to note that once this young generation becomes old, there will simply be no people to look after them. For a technologically advanced and one of the richest countries out there, it is surprising that Japan is one of the unhappiest nations out there. Maybe due to to the overwhelming overtime stress, society expectations, low wages. I think it mostly falls on the Japan government and more policies / incentives must be implemented to quickly rectify the issue.

虽然人口老龄化是一个问题，但我认为日本更大的问题在于人口数量下降。日本没有出台任何鼓励生育的政策，不管是产妇福利还是社会服务都没有提供。而且我认为一旦年轻一代变老，就根本没有可以照顾他们了。日本是一个技术先进，世界上最富裕的国家之一，但同时却又是世界上幸福度最低的国家之一。或许这是由于巨大的加班压力，社会期望和低工资造成的。我认为这主要是日本政府的责任，他们必须实施更多的政策/激励措施来快速解决这个问题

Devin Stambolziovski sorry but I disagree with you. Sure mentality is part of the issue, but is not a fundamental reasoning. I’m sure there are many people wanting to raise children of their own in Japan, but I think it has more to do with one person’s financial situation. When people are being overworked for slave wages and are denied any social services, do you really think these people would have children even if they wanted to? Also, I have heard people have the risk of losing their jobs even if they take a short time off to be with family.

抱歉，我不同意你的观点。肯定，心态是一部分原因，但不是根本原因。我肯定很多日本人是愿意抚养孩子的，但我认为这更多的与个人的经济状况有关。当人们疯狂的工作却只能拿到那么一点工资，并且无法获得任何社会服务的时候，就算他们想要生孩子，他们也不会去生。而且我听说，日本人就算休小假和家人呆在一起也会有失业的风险。

Declining population is good for the environment. The Earth is overpopulated and it’s not sustainable in the long run, so I think it’s great to see a declining trend in population sizes in many first world countries.

对环境来说，人口下降是一件好事。现在地球人口过多，从长远来看，这是不可持续的，所以我认为许多第一世界人口下降是一件好事。

I don’t think declination of population is the main problem, because the planetis facing the problem of overpopulation.

我认为人口下降不是什么大问题，因为地球正面临人口过剩的问题。

Their problem could be alleviated or maybe solved with controlled immigration.

日本的问题可以通过有限度的外来移民来缓减

Countries that usually enter the category of “1st world” naturally have lower populations.

第一世界国家的人口往往都较少。

“there will be no people to look after them” -- does it have to be people? How about robots?

“未来没有人可以照顾他们”

必须要是人吗？机器人怎么样？

People will maybe start to figure out that advanced technologies won’t make someone happier. You can say that it’s useful, sure it is, but in the end, we feel more useless and less human especially with the fact that we do no longer need to see someone in real life or have contact with him/her. + for sure, I do agree with you, they don’’t have the time nor the money to raise childrens.

人们或许会开始发现先进技术并不会让人们变得更加的幸福。你可以说先进的技术很有用，这当然没有错，但最后我们会觉得自己没有价值，变得没有人情味，尤其是因为有了先进的技术，我们不需要在现实生活中也能见到某个人，并与他或她产生联系。当然，我同意你的观点，他们没有时间没有金钱养育孩子

The declining birth rate directly contributes to the aging population

出生率下降直接导致了人口老龄化

I agree with you. The source of the problem is because of declining birth rate. But I understand japanese people feeling. There’s a lot of reasons why they don’t want to have a child. Some of the reasons is the long working hour, expensive price, etc. I have watched an interview of japanese couple,they are married but decide not to have a child.

我同意你的看法。问题的根源是出生率的下降。但我理解日本人的感受。他们不想要孩子的原因有很多。一些人是因为工作时间长，物价高等。我曾看过一对日本夫妇接受采访的视频，他们已经成婚但决定不生孩子。

They said the reason is because both of them get home from work around 10 pm so there’s no way they could care for a children. I think japanese work culture have to change, office workers in japan are expected to work overtime everyday. The couldn’t care for their family if they work overtime everyday. I even have a japanese acquaintance that say that he is married with his work.

他们说原因是因为他们两人要到晚上十点才能工作回家，所以他们没办法关心生不生孩子这个问题。我认为日本的工作文化必须改变，日本上班族每天都要加班。如果每天都要加班的话，那么根本就没有办法照顾自己的家庭。我认识一个日本人，他说自己已经嫁给了工作。

While we that live in other country “work so we could live” japanese are " live to work". Not only that the live expenses also getting more expensive, they can’t afford to have a child. And with this new regulation that increase the pension age it will be even tougher. The young people can’t get promoted, job vacancy that could be filled with young workers is not available because the company still maintain their old workers. How could young people make a child while they couldn’t get a job or couldn’t get promoted? If they couldn’t get a job or get promoted they couldn’t make money to raise children. This things resulted in declining of birth rate after that of course resulted aging population.

生活在其他国家的人是为了生活而工作，而日本人是为了工作而活着。生活成本的提高使得他们更加要不起孩子了。而随着提取养老金年龄的提高，形势变得更加的严峻。年轻人无法获得提拔，空缺出来的岗位无法由年轻人填补，因为老员工依然还在公司里面。如果年轻人找不到工作或者无法得到晋升的话，那么他们怎么敢生孩子？就算生了孩子，也没有钱去养孩子。这导致了日本出生率的下降，当然也导致了人口老龄化。

In my opinion culture and religion has the biggest impact on fertility rate, if you look among developed countries with high birth rate, israel has the highest at 3.11 and france with largest muslim population in eu

在我看来，文化和宗教对出生率的影响是最大的，在发达国家里面，以色列的出生率是最高的，达到了3.11，还有法国，它是欧盟国家里面穆斯林人口最多的国家。
