Create an environment that people want to raise families in.
People won't have kids if they are stressed, poor, overworked, or scarce on resources.
创造一个人们愿意养育家庭的环境。
如果人们压力大、贫穷、工作过度或者资源稀缺，他们将不会要孩子。
Not just Japan. Most developed nations started having less kids. As employers demand more hours for less pay and expenses keep rising. Starting a family becomes a luxury
不仅仅是日本。大多数发达国家，都开始生更少的孩子了。随着雇主要求人们工作更长的时间，同时只提供更少的工资，以及各种开支费用的不断增加，组建家庭成为了一种奢侈。
It's great how countries always talk about ''the dangers it can bring to the (future) economy'', but never talk about how to improve living standards for their ENTIRE population.
各国总是谈论“这可能给（未来）经济带来的危险”，但从不谈论如何提高其全体人民的生活水平，这可真棒。
My brother once visited Japan and stood in a hotel on the countryside which he really enjoyed because he said the ppl there were so kind and lovely. But when he went to Tokyo he was sad to see how dead everyone looked. They all looked so exhausted from long work hrs.
我哥哥曾经去过日本，住在一个乡村旅馆里，他非常喜欢那里，因为他说那里的人都非常善良可爱。 但是当他去东京的时候，看到每个人都死气沉沉的样子，他很难过。由于长时间的工作，（东京的人们）看起来都很疲惫。
Some people say that to increase the fertility rate in Japan the government has to introduce more holidays and raise wages. While that helps, I think that a major paradigm shift must occur in Japanese work culture. Japanese salarymen and women work so hard not necessarily because they want to, but because it’s “expected” of them. As long as this silly idea that going home on time is “rude” and “hurts the company” continues to fester the fertility rate won’t improve.
有人说，为了提高日本的生育率，政府不得不引入更多的假期并提高工资。虽然这有点帮助，但我认为日本的工作文化必须发生重大的转变（才能真正改善生育率）。日本的工薪阶层工作如此努力，不一定是因为他们愿意，而是因为这是对他们的“期望”。 只要“按时下班回家是不礼貌且伤害公司”这种愚蠢的思想继续恶化下去，生育率就不会提高。

Wages are low for the hours worked in a day, and taxes are levied under various names on the small amount of income. Many people cannot afford to raise children and have to make ends meet.
我住在日本，感觉没有希望，唯有沉重的困顿感。
按每天的工作时间计算，工资很低，而且对这一点点收入还以各种名义征税。很多人没有能力养孩子，只能勉强维持生活。
Apart from increasing childcare and other benefits, they need to change some rules like giving more wages and more holidays to workers. The working environment is so stressful and long, people stressed over livelihoods , don’t have time to meet.
除了增加儿童保育和其他福利，他们还需要改变一些规则，比如给工人更多的工资和假期。工作环境压力太大，时间太长，人们都感受到了生活的压力，没有时间（约会）见面。
Many people feared that overpopulation would be the big issue, but we're now seeing the stress of modern life just makes propagation impossible.
许多人担心人口过剩会成为大问题，但我们现在看到，现代生活的压力使得人口繁殖（扩张）变得不可能。

This is a problem in many European countries too. You can't start a family when prices for everything gas, food etc go up and up to the point that you can barely even pay for mortgage anymore.
这在许多欧洲国家也是一个问题。当汽油、食物等一切的价格上涨到你甚至连抵押贷款都付不起的地步时，你就不能组建家庭了。
I think it's more of a modern work culture issue than a purely money issue. While money does matter, time might be what's stopping most from starting families. People in developing countries aren't required to separate work from home life, but modern work means spending most hours of each day away from home with very little time off, especially in places like Japan.
我认为这更像是一个现代工作文化问题，而不是纯粹的金钱问题。虽然钱很重要，但时间可能是阻碍组建家庭的主要因素。发展中国家的人们不需要将工作与家庭生活分开，但（发达国家的）现代工作意味着每天大部分时间都在外度过，很少有休息时间，尤其是在日本这样的地方。
Great place to visit, terrible place to live.
（日本是）旅游的好地方，但作为居住地就糟透了。
This news is not surprising to me especially considering the work conditions the Japanese endure.
这个消息并不会让我惊讶，尤其是考虑到日本人忍受的工作条件。

You can't be social or fertile while you are exhausted and stressed. This is a problem in the western culture too, but China and Japan for sure have the worst work-life balance. Add the increasing housing and livng costs and the choice is easy.
当你疲惫不堪、压力重重时，你就没办法进行社交或者生育孩子。这在西方文化中也是一个问题，但在中国和日本，工作和生活的平衡肯定是最差的。再加上不断增加的住房和生活成本，选择就很容易了。

I’m Japanese but have lived outside of it for most of my life. I go back there every 2 years and it’s amazing, but realized that it’s only because I go there to have fun, without a care about rent or work. I always wanted to go back because it’s beautiful there, and everything is so delicious, but I know the work condition is still pretty bad.
我是日本人，但大部分时间都生活在日本之外。我每两年回一次那里，感觉那里很棒，但我意识到（我觉得那里很棒）只是因为我去那里是为了玩，不用在乎房租或者工作。我一直想回去，因为那里很美，一切都很美味，但我知道工作条件仍然很糟糕。
Of course it's like this. Young people don't want kids until they're comfortable financially or they don't want them at all. Moreover, having children so early is considered a shameful thing nowadays so obviously it's a lot harder for it to happen.
当然会（出现）像这样的情况。年轻人不想要孩子，除非他们在经济上感到舒适，或者他们根本就没有考虑过要孩子。此外，生孩子太早现在被认为是一件可耻的事情，所以显然，（生育率提高）这更难发生。

If you've ever been to Japan you'll see first hand how people are worked to the bone there. Not only are you expected to work over time, but we also had to hang out and drink with our co-workers/bosses after work and if we don't attend, it's seen as disrespectful and lazy. You essentially have 2-3 hours to yourself once you get home (if you're lucky) and then you have to repeat this for the next day and the day following that. There's no time to socialize or focus on relationships. Another note is how women are treated there. Most of them work now since we live in modern times, and yet they still have to carry the full burden of child care and housework by themselves.... no wonder most of them are choosing to focus on their career rather than starting a new family.
如果你曾经去过日本，你就会亲眼看到那里的人是如何累死累活的。你不仅要加班，下班后我们还得和同事/老板出去喝酒，如果我们不参加，就会被视为不尊重和懒惰。回家后，如果幸运的话，你会有2到3个小时属于自己，然后你必须在第二天和第三天重复这样的事情。没有时间去社交或者关注人际关系。另一个值得注意的是，女性在那里的待遇....她们中的大多数人现在要工作，因为我们生活在现代社会，但她们仍然得承担照顾孩子以及家务这些全部的负担....难怪她们中的大多数人选择专心事业，而不是建立一个新的家庭。
I have hope that Japan will have a social change and it's not just Japan that's happen but most well-developed countries.
我希望日本发生一场社会变革，而且不仅仅是在日本发生，也同样在大多数发达国家发生。
I understand that while the shrinking fertility rate is going to cause problems, at the end of the day you just cannot force people to breed if they don't want to. Between the cost of living being too expensive as it is, a nation with an infamously toxic/competitive work culture and a slew of other factors, governments telling citizens that it's their "duty" to their country to reproduce just isn't going to work.
我知道生育率下降会导致（社会出现）问题，但说到底，如果人们不想生育，你不能强迫他们生育。在生活成本如此昂贵、一个名声很臭的“有毒/竞争性工作文化”的国家，加上一系列其他因素，政府告诉公民，对国家的“责任”是繁殖，这是行不通的。
I spent 4 months in Japan and I'm convinced you can't solve this problem with economic policy. This is a CULTURAL issue.
我在日本呆了4个月，我相信你无法通过经济政策解决这个问题。这是一个文化问题。
Thank you for the reminder that people are brought into this world not to live a fulfilling existence or experience anything resembling joy, but instead to "drive the economy forward". I had almost started dreaming again, but now I remember what's important and I will return to work!
感谢你提醒人们，来到这个世界上不是为了过上充实的生活或体验任何快乐的事情，而是为了“推动经济向前发展”。 我差点又开始做梦了，但现在我记得什么是重要的了，我会回去工作！
As a Japanese, I believe that some Japanese dream of regaining the Japan of the high economic growth period. They only lament that salaries are low when comparing today's Japan with the past. But that is impossible. What we need to do now is to face reality and solve the problems of an aging society with a declining birthrate, and make Japan a role model for an aging society with a declining birthrate.
作为日本人，我相信有些日本人梦想着重回经济高速增长时期的日本。 将今天的日本与过去的日本相比，他们只会感叹工资太低。但（回到过去）那是不可能的。我们现在需要做的是正视现实，解决少子老龄化社会的问题，让日本成为少子老龄化社会的榜样。
I feel that families need time to be families. There are a lot of traditions that must be broken or amended so people can desire the joys of starting and maintaining a healthy family. Japan will have to accept that they must endure a loss in global economic dominance to secure their future at all.
我觉得家庭是需要时间才能成为家庭的....有许多传统必须被打破或修正，这样人们才能享受和维持健康家庭的乐趣。日本将不得不承认，他们必须失去全球经济主导地位，才能确保自己的未来。
If japan wants to see an increase of population, there needs to be an overhaul and reform of the working standards. More often then not japanese people are overworked and stressed, some to the point of death. Its so common in fact that it has its own term “Karoshi” make an environment where people can happily have and raise children and birth rates will go up naturally
如果日本想看到人口增加，就需要对工作标准进行彻底改革。日本人过度劳累、压力过重，有些甚至到了死亡的地步，这是很常见的事情。如此普遍，以致于有了专用术语“过劳死”....创造一个人们可以愉快地生育和抚养孩子的环境，出生率自然会上升。
Wow. Even during the dark days of Japan during the early 2000s, Tokyo's population was growing stably. The fact that now the population of Tokyo has shrunk really shows how serious this issue is. Documentaries on Japan's declining population appeared in the 2000s, so nothing has changed since then. Unless there is major social change in Japan, we're probably going to see Japan fade away in the coming decades..
哇，即使在2000年初日本最黑暗的时期，东京的人口也在稳定增长。而现在东京的人口已经在减少了，这确实说明了这个问题的严重性。 日本人口减少的纪录片，最开始是 2000年左右出现的，所以说，在那以后什么都没有改变。除非日本发生重大的社会变革，否则我们可能会看到日本在未来几十年内逐渐消失。
I lived in japan few years... but I left because I was scared I would never have a family. Because nothing there is made to create connection between people. Loneliness is a part of journey in Japan for most of people
我在日本住了几年....但后来我离开了，因为我害怕我永远不会有一个家庭。因为（在日本）没有任何东西可以（帮助）在人与人之间建立联系。对大多数人来说，孤独是在日本旅行的一部分。
This problem seems to be most pronounced in Japan but it's a symptom of very developed countries. High cost of living and focusing on careers causes people to not want kids. European birthrates are declining and according to a recent poll in Italy 50% of women 18-24 do not want kids. Couple that with terrible immigration and you got a disaster.
这个问题在日本似乎最为明显，但它是发达国家（普遍）的症状。高昂的生活成本，再加上
人们把精力集中在工作上，这导致人们不想要孩子。欧洲的出生率正在下降，根据最近在意大利进行的一项民意调查，有50％的18-24岁女性不想要孩子，将这与可怕的移民结合在一起，你会得到一场灾难。
I sincerely hope that Japan will be able to cut back on costs for housing and the other necessities for raising a family as well as giving workers better wages. You can't have a family if everything's too expensive and your overworked.
我衷心希望，日本能够削减住房成本和其他养育家庭的必要性（支出），并为工人提供更好的工资待遇。 如果所有东西都非常昂贵，而且工作太累，那你永远不会拥有一个家庭。
Reduce stress…
减轻压力...
Alot of first world countries are facing the same issues
很多第一世界国家都面临着同样的问题。
Same here in Taiwan ������, most people just don’t want to have family because housing prices here are ridiculous!
在台湾（地区）这里也是一样，大多数人不想拥有家庭，因为这里的房价太荒谬了！
This might have a huge impact on Japan in the coming years. I'm sad but also happy about it.
在未来数年内，这可能会对日本产生巨大影响。我很难过，但也很高兴。
This is not just a problem faced by Japan though, birth rates are steadily declining in most of the world, even in China and India, the two most populous nations on earth.
这不仅是日本面临的问题，出生率在世界大多数地方，都在稳步下降，即使是中国和印度，这两个地球上人口最多的国家，也是如此。

The declining birthrate is not just a problem in Japan. The birth rate in Germany, which accepts immigrants, is 1.54. Italy 1.27. Finland 1.35.
出生率下降不仅仅是日本的问题。接受移民的德国，出生率为1.54，意大利为1.27，芬兰为1.35。
Maybe they need to get people involved in social activities more and improve work conditions so people feel happier and can meet new people more and therefore increasing the chances to have relationships and children.
也许他们需要使人们更多地参与社交活动并改善工作条件，以便人们感到更快乐，并可以更多地结识新朋友，从而增加建立人际关系和（生）孩子的机会。

A few years ago, there was an issue with overcrowding. Now we're worried about the population dropping.
数年之前，人口过多存在问题。而现在，我们担心人口下降。
Sounds problematic, hope they will soon be able to fix that problem. Ironic is it not? The less develop country of mine is advising the population to limit birth rate and the more develop country is struggling to get more.
听起来问题严重，希望他们能尽快解决这个问题。 很讽刺不是吗？我们这个欠发达国家，正在建议限制人口出生率，而更发达的国家，正在努力生更多。
Japan needs to transform its working and living culture.
I am confident they will eventually be able to overcome the issues, but it won't be easy.
日本需要改变其工作和生活文化。
我相信他们最终将能够克服这些问题，但这并不容易。
there needs to be incentives for people to have children, those living in poverty and who are overworked do not want to have kids.
需要激励人们生孩子，那些生活在贫困之中，或者劳累过度的人，不会想生孩子的。
I live in Italy and we also have this same issue. The number of elder people is always rising and the number of youger people is not catching up. I don’t know Japan very well but I can say for my country that the cause has to do with economy. Too difficult for young people to get stable jobs. Fixed-term jobs are the common rule today, and when a young couple can’t see economical stability in their future they simply don’t procreate.
我住在意大利，我们也有同样的问题。老年人的人数一直在增加，而年轻人的数量并没有赶上来。我不太了解日本，但我可以说我们国家（人口出生降低）的原因与经济有关。年轻人难以获得稳定的工作，当一对年轻夫妇看不到未来的经济稳定时，他们根本不会生孩子。
I think they need to change the work environment so that people work fewer hours per day and can actually have a life outside of work. Even if you're working 8 hours a day it's kind of hard to go out and socialize, date, and meet people etc. More than 8 hours per day and it just becomes impossible. Many Japanese people work 12 hours per day and sometimes more. It's crazy.
我认为他们需要改变工作环境，以让人们每天的工作更少，在工作之外可以有生活。即使你每天工作8个小时，也很难（有时间）外出、进行社交、约会、结识其他人等等。每天工作超过8个小时，这些就不可能了。很多日本人每天工作12个小时，有的时候甚至更多，这很疯狂。
I believe Technology plays a major part. I think there's a direct relation between technology and population decline. The more technologically advanced a society is, the more its population declines. Japan is the first evidence. It's the most technologically advanced country and it's population is declining.
我相信技术（在生育率降低这个过程中）起着重要作用。我认为技术与人口下降之间存在直接关系。一个社会的技术越先进，其人口下降得越多。日本就是第一个证据，它是技术最先进的国家，人口却在下降。

I’m only 18 and I’ve already decided not to have kids because of my country’s economy.
我只有 18 岁，但由于我们国家的经济状况，我已经决定不生孩子。
Why is everyone worried about this?
为什么大家都担心这个？
No free time, no energy, no money, long hours, is it really shocking why no ones having kids?
没有空闲时间，没有精力，没有钱，长时间工作，在这样的情况下，没有孩子真的很让人吃惊吗？

Working conditions in Japan are so harsh and there are prolonged work hours which put a lot of pressure on workforce.
日本的工作条件非常恶劣，工作时间很长，给劳动力带来很大压力。
Having kids now a days is really hard financially speaking plus the fact that many bad things are happening currently��� Can't blame them
现在生孩子在经济上真的很难，而且目前有很多不好的事情发生，不能怪他们！
Japan needs to have strong unxs and labour organizations, to make sure workers have a better environment and enough free time to have kids.
日本需要有强大的工会和劳工组织，以确保工人有更好的环境和足够的空闲时间来生孩子。
Can't blame them.
I'm 26 living in a third world country. I still live with my parents, I work and try to help them and I take care of all of my expenses, but buying a house for me (and most of my friends since they are in the same situation), it's a crazy move.
Can't even think of having children right now, I can barely support myself.
Most of the people around my age are waiting until marriage in order to move out of their parents' house.
Twenty years ago, families would have between 3-5 children. Nowadays, couples only think of one or two and close the factory forever.
不能怪他们。
我今年26岁，生活在一个第三世界国家，我仍然和我父母住在一起，我工作并努力帮助他们，我会承担我所有的开支，但对我而言，（以及我大多数的朋友，因为他们和我处于同样的情况），买房子是一个很疯狂的事情。
现在连生孩子的念头都没有，我几乎养不活自己。
大多数和我同龄的人，都等到结婚时才搬出父母的房子。
二十年前，一个家庭会有3到5个孩子。而今天，夫妻只想要一个或者两个孩子，然后就永远不再生了。
Now we need this trend to happen Worldwide tbh
老实说，现在我们需要让（人口减少）这种趋势在全球范围内发生。
The raising the retirement age part is really sad
（视频中）提高退休年龄那部分真的很让人难过。
It honestly infuriates me seeing older people blame the younger generation on population issues.
It's not that we don't want kids most of us just can't.
老实说，看到老年人将人口问题归咎于年轻一代，我真的很生气。
这并不是说我们不想要孩子，我们大多数人只是没办法要孩子。
This was meant to happen. Japan's work culture is considered one of the most stressful in the World.
这是注定要发生的。 日本的工作文化被认为是世界上压力最大的文化之一。
Why aren't people having more children?
There's virtually no work life balance, and people who work any less than 60-80 hrs a week are seen by society as worthless. America is having a similar problem, when it comes to family making and the work life balance. Japan also has tight immigration laws. From what I've seen in my own employment throughout the years, immigrants are usually the ones who work the hardest hardest, and often do the work citizens don't wanna take.
为什么人们不生更多的孩子？
（因为在日本）工作与生活之间无法取得平衡，每周工作时间少于60至80小时的人，就被社会视为是“毫无价值的人”。在家庭建设以及工作和生活的平衡方面，美国也有类似的问题。此外，日本有严格的移民法。从我多年来在自己的工作中看到的情况来看，移民通常是最努力工作的人，而且经常做国家公民不想做的工作。
This does not need to be viewed as a problem. Many jobs are not necessary, so rather than worry about who's gonna fill them let's just get rid of them.
这不需要被视为问题，很多工作不是必需的，所以与其担心谁来填补（这些工作岗位），不如直接摆脱这些工作岗位。
SpeI don't understand why maintaining birth rates is an important goal.
我不明白为什么维持出生率是一个重要目标。
Their strength is also their weakness.
everything in life needs balance, Japan has lost that balance.
Everyone is working themselves to death with no time to raise a family and no space to raise a family.
他们强大的地方也正是他们的弱点所在。
生活中的一切都需要平衡，而日本已经失去了这种平衡。
每个人都在工作到死，没有时间养家，也没有空间养家。
I currently live in South Korea…Lots of women struggle with fertility.
我目前住在韩国....很多女性都在为生育而苦苦挣扎。
That will adversely affect property prices severely. The lack of children related medical facilities in Japan are another huge factor that lead to this. I remember when we were in Japan, my kid was having a mild fever. The only hospitals available were for adults and they did not even accept any child beyond their hospital door. The only way was to call an ambulance and a far away and extremely expensive hospital. It's difficult for young adults with kids to survive in Japan given such inconvenience.
这将严重影响房地产价格。日本缺乏与儿童相关的医疗设施，是导致这种情况的另一个重要因素。 我记得我们在日本的时候，我的孩子发低烧，唯一（可选的）医院是成人医院，他们甚至不接受医院门外的任何儿童。唯一的办法就是叫救护车去到很远而且非常昂贵的医院。由于这种不方便，有孩子的年轻人很难在日本生存。
Not only in Japan!
（人口问题）不仅是在日本！

Ive seen docu about Japan where employess are sleeping on the side of the road due to overwork. It is hard raising a family with that environment
我看过关于日本员工因过度劳累而睡在路边的纪录片。在那种环境下很难养家。
It’s interesting o see if Japan fixes the problem. They have so many problems that are futuristic (for example the economy, culture and population density) so their solution may be used to solve same problems that arise in other countries in the future
看看日本能否解决这个问题会很有趣。他们有很多“未来”问题（例如经济、文化和人口密度），因此他们的解决方案，可能会被用来解决未来其他国家出现的相同问题。
