Yesterday, oddly enough, although I was sleepy I went out to eat without feeling sleepy.

I dined with a friend who was considering migrating out of Japan.

It appears that he’s planning to migrate with his family. Certainly, the number of migrants are increasing year after year because the conditions overseas are just right but, more than that, it’s a problem of the environment in Japan not getting better.

Well, I’ll dig deep into this problem and write about it in more detail next time…

I’ll just cite one example, that is, in a family with 3 children, a mother expected to do all the cleaning, washing, and cleaning while taking care of her children on her own without assistance, and she also has to deal with the education her children, so honestly speaking, just how much can this mother

If the housework was left to a helper, the amount of time that would have been spent on that can then be used to focus on the children. If there was a nanny around, she can even find time to refresh herself.

This can only be possible in countries with systems in place for helpers and nannies, which is something Japan is completely lagging behind in.

More than that, the words “human rights”, which I don’t quite understand, becomes a stumbling block, exactly who it is we’re supposedly trying to protect, I’m not too sure either.

Without such systems in place, building a family, or in other words, having more children in a family, is already difficult to consider.

That’s because the more children you have, the more obvious the impossibilities become.

If Japan’s overwhelming population decline is not solved, it is said that our population numbers will fall below 70 million.

Despite that, why is there still no proper environment for bringing up children, neither has there been any change?
It’s going to drag on if I continue so I’ll just stop…

Because of the stupid media and neglected environment, there’s more and more of an outflow of talented Japanese to other countries.

It’s such a waste.
