Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has called the situation a “quiet emergency”, pledging family-friendly measures like more flexible working hours to try and reverse the trend.

How about giving families struggling to pay for child numero uno (like me) a stipend? Per child. Not even going to consider having more until Japan starts respecting full-time parenting as a legitimate occupation.

They have to let people in from other places easily.
