Hey guys and girls on Ask Japanese, it's Cathy Cat. The birthrate in Japan is declining

quite a lot and this time we went to know from Japanese boys

the young boys on the streets of Tokyo why they think that is.

And what they're gonna do about it. Let's ask Japanese boys.

I will ask you about an issue that's big abroad

and in Japan. Let me remember the word. - Declining birth rates!

Wow how did you guess that? - It would have to be that topic

That's what all countries apart from China struggle with.

I was just trying to get the right word and you knew it. - I can read people

We're wondering why the birthrate in Japan is declining. - Because

it costs money. Kids costs a lot of money

And more adults decide not to have kids. We get more elderly

and less young people. The pressure on the younger people rises

The way you explained it, is like a circle. There are too many elderly

so that puts more pressure on the younger people

and thus they work more, meaning they don't have enough money

and can't spend it on kids. - That's what I think

Once we start working, it will be even harder for us.

Getting paternity or maternity leave is harder.

Working and raising kids - Is really tough

and when they cry all night, you can't sleep

and such - And you have to work the next day

Men and women have to work these days, that's another issue

I think we have many shy and passive men nowadays.

Right? Many boys around me never had a girlfriend

they don't have the desire to get a girlfriend.

Less and less. - So men who don't want a girl? - Yes

and they use their money in many areas, and don't have money for that stuff

They are so busy with working or studying and use money only on important things

Some use money on themselves. - From a man's view

what is your image of raising kids? - I love kids

I am worried how things will be when I am grown up

I think it will be hard. - One kid might be the limit. - Money

seems to be the issue. I often heard this but in Japan

there is a lot of pressure on Japanese men to work

to bring in enough money for the family. Do you feel that

is a thing. - In Japan more women are working now

and let my wife do all the raising kids stuff by herself.

But I don't think we can afford that so she would have to work too

We get only a few holidays in Japan, so many go abroad to work now

but nothing has changed here for the better. Raising kids here

to finance and have the chore of raising kids in Japan.

They can work but they HAVE to work for it to be enough

so husband and wife both work and won't have the time to raise kids

They CAN work and HAVE TO work. Does that link to the low salaries?

I think so. - We don't have enough Japanese

people and are asking foreign workers to come right now

I think the parameter is totally off now.

Do you feel this has an impact on your life yet?

When I was a kid, we had 3 classes in my primary years

and some levels could be put all in one class

That's how I saw how much kids are missing.

My primary school had to close. Last year.

Or the year before. The middle school too

there are 7 right now, might get down to 3 soon

my city doesn't have much money and a lot of debt

and there is no gain of living there, young people leave the town

Do you mean your prefecture was not using money on childcare?

No they only used it on silly things and got more debt

I think. - There aren't enough facilities. Also  links to the

government. There aren't enough kindergartens

I hear that a lot. Even though we have less kids,

we have not enough kindergartens! Why! But everyone says that. There aren't enough

kindergarteners. Parents have to work but can't find anyone to look after the kids

We got more old people and need their caretakers too.

There isn't enough money for the young and

for the elders. And the people who work now

get extra pressure. They need to care for the elder and kids

and they have double pressure AND need to work

to cope. I think we need to help the working people

So there are not enough facilities for kids? - I think so
