“I’d rather have that than what’s happening here...”
Well, we’re barely maintaining replacement rate here even with immigration. I don’t think mass die-out of human populations is a good thing-I’m just a big fan of human life. We are a long way from over-populating this Earth. Japan is a vibrant, productive, advanced, mature, and, reliable culture and I hate to see it whither away. I’ve read a fair bit about the demo problems Japan is facing and there is no clear consensus about it.
We need as many Western, democratic allies as possible in the years ahead and a dying off Japan (or Europe) does not aid that in any way.
