In the post-war period, Japan adopted a series of high-profile policies in the midst of a huge demographic crisis, which not only promoted the rapid rise of the country, but also caused strong controversy in the international community.
After the end of World War II, Japan was in ruins, facing the challenges of a sharp decline in population, an imbalance between men and women, and a sharp decline in the labor force. However, even before the outbreak of World War II, Japan had already set plans to reach a population of 100 million. To achieve this ambitious goal, Japan has passed a decree lowering the age of marriage for women to a staggering 13 and requiring each family to have at least five children. This kind of policy puts immature women in the position of imperialist reproductive tools, and even a large number of women are deceived into enlisting in the army to become ***
After the war, in response to the demographic crisis, Japan** once again set the age of marriage for women at 13, although this age is usually still in junior high school. This policy once again classifies women as tools for procreation, which has been strongly condemned by Western countries.
In order to solve the problem of the ratio of men to women, Japan has come up with a striking strategy of "hiring husbands with high salaries". By attracting men from all over Asia to work in Japan with high salaries and actively supporting them to marry Japanese women, this strategy solved the problem of population imbalance in a very short period of time. However, this bold approach has also caused great controversy, especially the harm to women in the country, and provoked dissatisfaction and criticism from the international community.
These policies contributed to Japan's rapid post-war rise, but they also came at a great cost to Japan, which had to face strong international resentment against its practices. While moving towards glory, Japan also fell into the abyss of ethics and morality.
