1. Perhaps it is because half of unmarried people under 30 are paid shitty wages? Just guessing…

2. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2023/04/1fadd66a029a-half-of-unmarried-people-under-30-in-japan-do-not-want-kids-survey.html) reduced by 42%. (I’m a bot)

   > Around half of unmarried people under 30 in Japan have no interest in having children, a recent survey by a pharmaceutical firm showed, with respondents citing economic concerns and the burden of childbirth and parenting as their reasoning.

   > Of the 400 respondents between 18 to 29 years old, 49.4 percent said they do not want children, the highest percentage in any of the last three annual pregnancy white paper surveys conducted by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co. By gender, it found that 53.0 percent of men and 45.6 percent of women are not interested in becoming parents, citing such reasons as the high cost and anxiety about Japan's future, the Osaka-based company said in late March.

   > The company's fiscal 2022 survey found that 48.1 percent of married men and women wishing to have children were cooperating with their partners' fertility efforts, according to the study also covering 800 married couples aged between 25 and 44.

3. I’m guessing it’s a lot of Japanese women that don’t want to be their husbands new mother.
