In Japan sales of adult diapers exceeds ones for babies

Even though that's a staggering testament to Japan's collapsed birth rates. It's only mentioned in passing in the article.

The Japanese are a very efficient people. Why waste time going to the bathroom when you can do it while watching TV and playing games?

This is actually not that funny. At least for those who want Japan be around in a hundred years.

That's some pretty bad news.

how...interesting:?

And this surprises absolutely no one.

Not surprised.

Birth rate declines as a country develops, and geriatric age group grows.

I just hope there is enough geriatric care providers in the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happens in the US when the baby boomers get older.Laihendi

Unlike Japan, the US has a birth rate above replacement. And high immigration as well.

Japan is weird, this shouldn't shock anyone.mems_1224

What does this have to do with weirdness?

[QUOTE="GazaAli"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]Do we know for sure this is all for old age? Japan is weird enough that this could just be some new craze for them.

The birth rates and aging populace in Japan speak for themselves. You don't need to come up with wild theories like that. It's merely an inevitable milestone.

They're country is going to collapse and it's because they suck at sex.

seems reading one of the related articles about "Devil Wives" that the current solution to their economic woes is to increase the female workforce from 66.5% to 73%. which would end up growing the workforce by 10% as a whole.

while i get what they're doing. I view this as merely a band aid.

if your population is not growing or at the very least stable your economy is going to shrink regardless of how many women and men you force into the workfoce.

[QUOTE="GazaAli"] They should allow to emigrate :PGazaAli

Problem solved.

That's going to be a problem in China as well. They still have fairly strict population controls that encourage families to have just one child. While that helps prevent overpopulation, these kids will end up being responsible for supporting an enormous aging population.

Happens when you have abysmal birth rates and an extremely xenophobic view on immigration. I know the Japanese would rather keep Japan Japanese but honestly I doubt there's going to be many people moving there for reasons other than enjoying the culture. Also they should appreciate it because for whatever reason half-Japanese girls tend to be pretty fine.Ace6301

I wouldn't be surprised if some fetish regarding children and/or feces was the reason behind this. Japan is a really fvcked up country.

I need to learn japanese thoroughly so many hot asian women not getting any cause the men can get body pillows, and girls panties from vending machines.

Would emigrate to Japan in a heartbeat.GazaAli

so what do you like more? the way they rape the ocean, their racism or their apathy?

It never even occured to me this could be due to low birth rates...I thought it was a fetish thing, being Japan and all.

Low Birth-rates

Xenophobic Immigration Policy

depleting sex drive

Ageing populous
