I'll just point out something a friend pointed out to me:
This incident is endemic of something wrong with Japan. They know there population is dropping., They have know for a long time. They refused to acknowledge it. They realise there are onyl two solutions a) get more Japanese babies born or b) allow more immigration.
Obviously, this being Japan, option b is not going to happen. So they are stuck harping on option a, which they know isn't going to work.
That is one of the reasons I dislike Japanese policy on this issue. Its both misogynistic and racist.
