one of jp’s main reasons why young japs are not marrying and having babies is that their homes are sextremely small. and due to low pay exacerbated by a weak yen they can’t afford their own shoebox apartments. so they stay with parents in already tiny apartments, the largest at 699 sq ft. how to bring gf or wife home to fuck when parents are retired and have no where to go with miserly pensions but stay at home? and when they go to love motels, they are scared of going raw (in case women get pregnant) thus they use condoms or other contraceptives. the thought of having children terrifies them. no space, low paying jobs, 12-hr workday, not enough money, no childcare (grannies don’t offer to help in jp), no family time, no nearby parks and playgrounds for kids to play and socialize, no affordable afterschool care and programs. no wonder jp is a nation that will be devoid of japs in 69 years. why is sg not learning lessons from jp? continue to densify, depriving sinkies of jobs, and shrink living spaces?
