Reasons for the Low Birth Rate in Korea, China, and Japan

The reason for the low birth rate was analyzed in the West
The Economist, a British economic weekly, says it has found three things in common in Asian countries
The first reason is that if you don’t get married, you won’t have children
The West says the birth rate for unmarried women is between 30 and 60
In Korea and Japan, it’s about 2
It’s not an easy problem in our country yet
There are laws, institutions, social prejudices, etc
I saw this reason for the first time in Japan and China as well

Second, it’s expensive education
In China, Shanghai and Singapore, children have been having a hard time preparing for exams since elementary school
Private education costs money, but it will cost more from elementary school
Of course, private education is not easy in Korea either
According to statistics, 3 out of 4 elementary, middle, and high school students received private education last year at 23 trillion won

It’s a high house price
But maybe it’s just because of housing prices
In fact, the low birth rate problem is connected by life cycle, from employment to housing price childcare and housework education
Japan has been trying to solve it since the 1990s, but it’s not easy

The population of children under the age of 15 has decreased for 41 consecutive years, and the Japanese government has come up with a solution like this
It even offers a service that matches people who are likely to be liked with artificial intelligence

On the other hand, the BBC pointed out that Japanese women are raising their children alone
Japanese men work 41 minutes a day, which is about 14 minutes in Denmark and Australia
