Okayama Prefecture, Japan, recently released its budget report for the 2021 fiscal year. Among them, ** 19.9 billion yen will also be allocated as subsidies to promote local fertility.
Among them, there is a "weird" provision, that is, the school will provide funds for students to hold a group activity. The specific allowance amounts are as follows:
The alumni party is stipended once a year only, and each participant receives a stipend of 1,000 yen, up to a maximum of 30,000 yen. That is, a maximum of thirty places.
According to the local authorities, the purpose of this initiative is to give students a date time, so that they can have a date and have a child.
Okayama Prefecture in Japan has also made a lot of money, not only taking out a large amount of money, but also formulating a corresponding subsidy plan.
I don't know which "wonderful" organized the class reunion, and it was like a TV series, thinking that going to a class reunion would make the two fall in love again, and then have a child.
According to the current exchange ratio, 1,000 yen is equivalent to 48 yen, and 30,000 yen is equivalent to 1,440 yen.
Instead of spending it on class reunions, it is better to take out 30,000 yen as compensation for pregnant women, and no matter how bad it is, it can also allow them to eat more nutrients that nourish their bodies, and use these funds to the best of their ability.
From a series of "wonderful" incentives promulgated by Okayama Prefecture, Japan, we can see that the birth rate of Japan's population is declining, and there is even a phenomenon of "dogs jumping off the wall".
In fact, Japan has introduced a number of policies to promote fertility.
For example, providing childcare subsidies for newborn children, or expanding childcare services, etc.
Moreover, the birth rate is declining every year, and not only Japan but also ourselves have been severely affected.
As for why, I feel that the birth rate is getting lower and lower year by year, and there are the following points:
First, due to the change in the thinking of young people, many young men and women get married late, some do not get married, and some do not marry at all.
The second is that the cost is too large, whether it is a dowry or buying a house, it costs a lot of money, which makes it difficult for many people to have a second child.
The third is that the cost of raising children is too high, from birth, to school, to marriage, it is not something that ordinary families can afford.
Therefore, I believe that in order to increase the birth rate, it is necessary to take more measures in addition to formulating relevant policies. The key is to find ways to improve people's livelihoods and change the mindset of young people.
When their standard of living improves, they have a stable income, they have more spare money in their hands, and they change their minds, they will actively get married and have children, and the birth rate will also rise.
In short, we should not be complacent about Japan's low birth rate, because this is exactly what we are facing.
We should be vigilant, raise awareness of population issues, and take the initiative to find solutions to ensure sustainable development in the future.
