Japan is one of the leaders in the world in number of suicides.

I've always thought Japan is a very prosperous country. Why do Japanese people not live? I think that in order to have no reason for depression they need to be sent on trips to poor countries. Then they will increase self-esteem.

Japan is extremely prosperous. No doubt about that. But the work culture is causing all this stress and strain. The people don't have enough time to spend with their families. Japanese people take far fewer vacations, when compared to those from the US and the EU.

Due to the fact that they spend a lot of time working their country is very well advanced in the production sector.

Yes you guys are right. They are leading country in technology, as far as i know. There people is hard working and there is no doubt about that. Stress is very dangerous thing if not dealt with on time. But somewhere i have heard that Japanese people have most non working days in the world, i do not know if that is right...

Their rhythm of life is much stronger and more active. Perhaps life expectancy is also minimal.

I can't understand why this is happening. People do not want to go on vacation. Also, I heard that the Japanese government wants to encourage those Japanese who are to leave on time from work after the end of the day. Strange people, these Japanese!

It is quite difficult to understand the Japanese mentality. To the westerners, they would seem quite weird. They remain firmly opposed to mass immigration of third world laborers. I appreciate them for their decision. This is the reason why we are not hearing about any terrorist attacks in Japan. But there are things which I hate. For example, their age of consent is 13, when it is 18 in most of the other nations.

BTW, can anyone explain this?

As for China, this is a result of the One Child Policy. They are trying to reverse it now because of the aging population but it seems people are not interested in having more children.

The Chinese population is around 1.4 billion, and despite the one-child policy, the population is still growing. Analysts expect the Chinese population to grow until 2030. Without the one-child policy, the situation could have been disastrous.

Having a one child policy can kill chinas economy in the future trust me. However that is being irrelevant to the topic. Japan had 2 child policy and been working this for a while so their current population is quite healthy. Yet this idea as well can stress out their child because they can focus o their children with regards to everything

It comes down to peer pressure and the cost of living, once you get a job you need to constantly keep working and when your a student you have literally 1 year to get recruited before your considered a non-ideal employee. That said it also is hard to have a social life when you have so much that needs to get done and transport eats your cash, work takes up your life and their isn't much chill time.

If that is true then your society is just fucked. Go demonstrate for better work conditions.

The Japanese culture is very different. The mother is expected to remain at home and care for the baby. If she goes to work leaving the baby at some childcare facility, then she is likely to face a lot of harassment from the family and the friends. That is also one of the reasons for the low birth rate.

That logic makes zero sense. In a patriarchal society the birthrate is high because woman have the standard role of a mother. Staying home and getting kids on mass.

Maybe you are right sithara, most immigrants like you might be just as dumb as shit and should stay outside 

Maybe there is a connection between level of stupidity and islam?
Sithara are you muslim?

I do not understand Japanese. Maybe the Japanese are a nation of robots? They have a strange entertainment and they work without breaks. Exactly robots!

I would not agree with you, i do not thing they are country of robots. Country of robots could not build everything that they built. They are just different from use. They just got used to work hard, its there life stile, they have limited resources and space. So maybe to have everything they have, they found a way in hard working. But that can break person sometime, and that is the problem. We all need break time from time to time, no matter how good at work we are, or we think that we do not need free time.... we do need break time from time to time.

Hmm i kinda agree with you. My relatives are living their for decades and they only have one or two children and usually when the kid turns 18 it now lives independently. For the childhood days of my cousins their mom and dad were actually working most of the time which nullifies the statement of sit but if he is going to say that one in the Philippines then he might be right

This is true japan has the most number of suicides every year almost 30,000 per year this this very alarming in one country where technology is highly advance ,according to some news one reason is the pressure on jobs like in politics, means of apology and some are dealing with no cure diseases.
