It's been the same for 50 years. Why is not now a problem?
Japanese culture is valuing academic and business achievement above family
I wouldn't say this. Japan has a strong family culture and has more three generation households than you probably imagine. Rural Japan and Urban Japan are two veryvery different things.
It is, like it is every where else, simply about the money. The men will work the long hours if you make the pay package acceptable. They're not doing this because business everywhere has been monopolized. This hurts the consumer market but it DESTROYS the labor market.
There's no labor mobility, no easy chance to change companies, no big raises used to tempt workers from one business to another. It ices the whole labor market out and forces people to accept lower wages for work than they otherwise would.
They've pushed this to the absolute limit, and so now you have people who would rather do nothing all day, then trade their labor for a pittance.
Then you can post utterly bullshit articles all day about the "birth rate problem" and how many "adult diapers japan buys!" Or now, the "government created a dating app it's so desperate!" It's a dumb rigged game with a fake embarrassment ritual designed to extract the last bit of cash from the empire while keeping everyone too depressed to do anything about it.

Generational decay. People raised in the old world, before everything was broken, retain their cultural behaviors, but subsequent generations internalize the new rules and things go wrong. 50-60 years for cultural changes to show their full effects is normal.

Of course, but their birthrate is catastrophic nonetheless.

Locally.. create programs that encourage women to stay out of the work force, and that make various short term loan facilities available to citizens attempting to start small family businesses.
Globally.. destroy the wall street/isreal/china alliance.
Your first point cannot be achieved until the second point is addressed. It's no longer feasible for women to be stay-at-home housewives, unless their husbands have very high-paying jobs. The middle class here in Japan is taxed to death and worked to death.
Do what our politicians require for the United States. Allow felons, criminals, countries emptying out their prisons and mental heath institutions into out nation so they can rape our children, daughters, sisters, mothers and grand mothers Prove me wrong

I agree 100%.
So what would you propose as a solution?
Locally.. create programs that encourage women to stay out of the work force, and that make various short term loan facilities available to citizens attempting to start small family businesses.
Globally.. destroy the wall street/isreal/china alliance.

Guy was asked to provide a solution, and he delivered. Whether you like/agree with it or not is another matter

Improve the cost of living:national average income ratio is as baseline as it gets.
So, socialist government programs?
