  An important component of “Abenomics” was trying to increase the fertility rate - Japan has been infamously careening towards demographic collapse (which ya know, might be connected to getting married/having kids torpedoing a career…)

  At least Abe was advocating consensual sex, I don’t know if his grandfather was so kind in Manchukuo. Abe certainly didn’t want anyone to know about what was happening in Manchukuo.

    The Moonies weren’t particularly interested in consent, I wouldn’t assume that he was.

    So how effective was that? I think the Japanese population is still declining, isn’t it?

      Japan’s total population declined for the 15th straight year in 2023, dropping by more than a half-million people as the population ages and births remain low.

      Japan’s population is projected to fall by about 30%, to 87 million by 2070, when four out of every 10 people will be 65 or older.
