The funny thing is this is actually a known psychological trick. If you try counting from say 9070, 9080, 9090, theres a decent chance you'll incorrectly say 10000 instead of 9100. It works better if you're counting in words out loud. The small things we all get wrong because of how our brains are wired are always fun.

@@The_Keeper_of_Names Maybe thats why he said "so called"...

@@itoakira917 it's more of a handful of factors, overwork is one, but now the work that gives good employment/wages requires highly educated people, and that people will be forming themselves until age 23/25 or more depending the area, and are less likely to have childrens until they find themselves in a financially stable situation, and highly educated people tends to be more stingy when it comes to have those children, plus don't forget that women would usually spent all their time taking care of the house, and now they took a more active role in the workforce, which leaves a hole in the domestic life. There really is a myriad of other reasons, but allowing a more relaxed lifestyle would likely help miles with the problem, though i'll admit i've never been in japan so i can't say if what i see as the biggest factors are biased, most from what i see in this problem comes from videos like this and other similar type of sources.

Well don’t move there I know for a fact Japan just wants Japanese people there and I don’t blame them , people love to go to other countries and ruin them , this is why Japanese people are so respectful and have such honor because they don’t allow the outside world crazy people to stay and cause chaos.

Please don't feel hopeless, if enough people do their part in upholding the economy and having children then the problem can be solved (assuming the government doesn't ruin it).

That’s the problem if you want your elderly to have a good retirement then your working population needs to work hard especially if there’s fewer and fewer of them of course that leaders to less future workers.

no? i mean other countries have the same great living quality and they do not have such a problem.

Few problems. It's not just the working class, in fact the extreme overworking in Japan is more common amongst the middle class, and second, it's not a legal problem, it's a cultural one. They aren't required by contract or law to stay work these long hours, and like he said in the video, they're given plenty time off that they just choose not to take. The extremely long hours stem from the mindset that, if you aren't giving more than you need, giving 200% every day, you're letting everybody down, and you'll be seen as a slacker. So it's a much more complicated problem to deal with, which makes the whole situation worse. Financial support for newlyweds or first-time parents might help, but I don't know.

@@jmaitland5709 alternative: implement laws that incentivise people taking their alloted paid leave, or sticking to their working hours. Or financially penalise those who overwork. Either by not paying at all for overtime, in all its forms, or by fining people and companies who enforce or indulge in overtime

The problem with your solution is belief in the “benevolent government”, to which there is no such thing. At best, governments are indifferent to the well-being of their citizens as they are more than happy to reap the benefits of a country doing well while doing not of the hard work. And while regulations are a positive, they don’t mean anything without enforcement or good judgment. And after the last two years of the COVID pandemic, I’m not confident in the government doing anything good as history proves over and over again that whenever government gets involved, it just makes the problem worst. This is something that the average person is gonna have to solve on their own.

Japan's Government Has Technology To Back So Yeah Japan Can Do This For All

Sounds like everything is working as intended. Modern society is deliberately structured to breakdown local communities and prevent collective resistances. Cheap labors can always be imported, work can be outsourced. The ruling class just don't want to deal with all the old people still alive, so they shift the blame to the young people who aren't successful enough.

The problem with overworking in Japan is not in the laws, but in the culture. Japanese labor laws are very good when compared to the ones in America and Europe, however there is a certain shame in taking leave, because they want to appear as if they're working hard, even if their work is already done, a phenomenon seen mostly in office jobs.

That usually happens in an economic crisis, so no big surprise that the government hasn't made any drastic steps in that direction yet.

For all of those who think it is ideal if Muslim women are not financially dependent on men: Would it be ideal if Muslim men were not sexually dependent on their women? For example would it be ideal if men could purchase (at low cost) harems of docile life-like forever-young sex robots? How would you respond to Muslim men who justified this by saying such robots are necessary to give men true independence, such that they are not forced to stay in relationships with women who are rude, jealous, controlling, manipulative, fat, old, or ugly? How would you respond to Muslim men who said that Muslim women need to "step up their game" such that men choose to be with them instead of a robot that is more friendly, beautiful, young, and thin? The cop out answer is to say sex robots are haram, but there are other conceivable halal alternatives that would do the same thing: flood men with cheap alternatives. Obviously such alternatives would weaken and ultimately destroy marriage because it takes away the dependence that men have on women for sex. But that is literally what giving women financial independence does; it makes them independent from men. And that's why no society or religion ever did give women that independence, except for our current dystopia..

While legislation can help there needs to be a more cultural solution which is quite fitting for a country that prides itself for it's culture.

So revolutionary, given that globalism enthusiasts, including this channel, have as their godly sent solution to everything, immigration.

Pretty much Islamic laws, which encourage nuclear families and looking after elderly relatives. If families looked after their elderly and only call specialists when needed, it would reduce the strain on government expenditure, even if they implemented benefits for doing this, which they should. Additionally, the education should be focused on where there the are labour shortage, and sustainable solutions for the long term.

Implementing fair working hours would also improve the mental health of the nation, reducing suicide rates, and therefore less employee turnover in the long term, though a short term solution would be needed (possibly short term Visas) for shortages in industry. Japan have a high productivity rate and song work ethic, so don't see this as too much of a problem in the long term.

I agree, at some point they are just going to have to scrap pension plans, but no old people (who by then will make up a majority) would every vote for this, which makes system collapse more likely the longer the problem is not addressed.

Liberal modernists and feminists will feign outrage, but their moral system is what creates this situation. Liberal principles of individual choice, female empowerment, and destruction of patriarchy create a society of people who have no family to take care of them in their old age. The liberal feminist solution to this problem is to create more welfare programs. What this means is that they want the elderly to live alone in what are essentially pods, their only human interaction being with "care" takers to check if they're still alive once a week. Let me put it like this. The only human solution is for the elderly to be surrounded by loving family in their old age. The only way to get that is patriarchy, gender roles, and other limitations on individual freedom. But the liberal mind cannot allow any of that. So the elderly will continue to suffer and liberal feminists and modernists will continue to pretend like they care about humanity.

Also Japan is trying nearly everything to solve this problem - increasing welfare for the aged , mass public transportation , and automation , encouraging people to have more children . You can argue about immigration but the japanese people are strongly opposed to it . This is a every unique problem of the modern era . For most of human history most people died before the age of 5 . But now , for developed countries atleast , the complete opposite is true . So I don't think much can be even done about the fact that old people will be working much longer .

Sometimes is common to see elderly people here working on Mexico, but the issue is that many people since they worked on an informal job they can't retire; so they don't have any other choice. Worst case scenario you can see them asking for money on the street or in subway wagons.

Japan is in a completely different situation. Culturally Japan has much more of a collectivist mindset, with people so often disregarding their own needs because they feel they don't matter, and only the group matters, the groups being your family, your company, and your country. It doesn't just affect employment and working ours but all of society, and it's honestly a problem that might only be able to be dealt with by a cultural shift in the next generation.

Nice utopia, but not realistic. Japan has many benefits for the elderly. They get reduced payments for health care and insurance. There are services such as adult day care (for the wealthier people who can afford it although it too is subsidized by the government) and they have nursing homes that provide 24 hours care. The problem as the video noted is paying for all of this. With the decreasing population there are fewer and fewer people to fund these programs. Also, with an unemployment rate of only 2%, no one wants to do these jobs.

here’s the thing even if they do the first option people don’t even want to have kids you see this problem in most western countries like in Scandinavia . they have a similar birth rate to japan and ethnically homogeneous as japan with Norway and Sweden being even less diverse than Japan. Both countries do amazing in quality of life and work life balance but people still don’t wanna have kids actually it makes there birth rate decrease even more as people focus on traveling and going instead of having children . It’s why more recently both countries have thought of allowing more immigrants because encouraging birth rate in a country that’s already well educated isn’t the best as you can’t spread propaganda and people could care less about what there governments wants. Now i understand the down sides of immigration but they simply outweigh the benefit’s. Ik a lot of europeans like to point out how bad it is doing but it is a fact that European countries with more liberal immigration policies do better and countries that don’t that Continue to have decreasing birth rate and population do worst. you can’t tell me the balkans and eastern Europe is a better off than Western and Northern Europe.

@@shaddythewiz3836 Japan's case is unique. In addition to the issues you mention with Scandinavian countries Japan has an unforgiving work culture in addition to being a very expensive place to live. The reason most of these places are so advanced and peaceful is because of a homogeneous population - there is a lot of benefit to having a homogeneous population too but that idea is not very popular today.

Seems like you will need both. Even if Japan implemented wildly successful policies to increase its birthrate today, those babies would not enter the workforce until 2040. Immigration adds new people now.

Option 3, but will need immigration (possibly short term Visas, so not large scale, long term mass immigration) but having option 3 simultaneously, means that education system should encourage citizens to fill those shortages in industry. Again, giving benefits to people who look after their elderly relatives would overall reduce the expenditure on social care, whilst reducing the amount of lonely deaths.

But I think China can take advantage of this disadvantage in WW3

@@peanutbutterman411 the united states is the one hoarding military arsenal, the only country in the world spending literally hundreds of billions on it. you dont have to go across the globe to find your war mongering nation.

@@Luizam55 Why does the US live rent free in your head? He never claimed the US was innocent, he said China was aggressive - which it historically is. Ask Vietnam, who was invaded by them less than 50 years ago. Ask Tibet - wait, they killed Tibet. Ask Putin, who is only friendly with China right now because of the US - but he knows that the moment the US is out of the picture, Russia will have to confront China to maintain its strength and status in regions like central Asia. China isn't more virtuous than the US, they are less stupid and impulsive than the US. The US invades countries on a whim - China has shown it is fine with invading, blackmailing, and destroying countries (Cambodia, Vietnam, Darwin Port, Tibet, etc). The difference is they are smart about it, unlike the impulsive US. Which, in my opinion, makes them more dangerous than America.

Yep that’s good to mention as well, it has been stated multiple times countries like US are having birth declines, for reasons too many to list child care is basically very expensive here in US etc.

China suffers even more with the introduction of one-child policy and terrible welfare. It is gonna face the same problem as Japan did in 2000s, but even worse.

@@GlaciaDay Also worth mentioning the world population as a whole is slowing down, in fact before this century ends the growth is gonna reach it’s peak before eventually declining

@@denistyrant US is actually one of the most stable in birth rates when talking about the west

I cant think of any country that has an overall "good" work culture.

@@libidinalmaterialist9470 Finland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, and even parts of the US have agreeable work cultures.

@@nodachibull8342 How you put some of these together is beyond me. Sweden, which is increasingly introducing 6 hours work days and Germany that is known for their crazy work ethic and working overtime.

@@ararune3734 how you think 6 hour work days is bad work culture is beyond me, and you said yourself that they haven't even fully implemented it. And work ethic is different from a work culture that forces you to work, often without proper compensation.

@@nodachibull8342 I never said it's bad, I say it's beyond me how you compare these systems with vastly different modus operandi. I'm not commenting on which is better or worse. You're grasping at straws here, in Germany people will absolutely overwork themselves but there is no way in hell they won't get paid properly for it.

We are the white elephant in the 'global warming' room. Everyone is banking on technology saving the day.

@@luisderivas6005 Do you mean like the global warming issue wont be so pressing because of how population trends are going to go down?

Damnit man I just wrote what you said but in a different way. Yeah the real issue wasn't addressed. Obviously the now oversized chickens being dealt with hatched from eggs.

8 billion is sustainable, its not until you get over 10 billion when you start straining resources. Back then the population would be low because of all the wars, diseases and other reasons. Right now we are living good compared to back then in terms of comfort.

Doomsdayer’s have been saying that the global population is getting too big and will be unsustainable for hundreds of years. Instead, freedom and capitalism keep fueling innovation which improves farming techniques and technology and solves the problem. Only when we stop freedom and capitalism will that innovation end.

Did u move out?
