The Japanese economy isn't really failing, it's been hovering around the same level since the 90's, with a slight recovery in recent years (but Abe's government has made the economy more volatile in both directions).

Really, the Japanese government should drastically cut the workweek and curtail overwork more strictly. Many people in the business sector just don't have a lot of time and not a lot of vacation days which is detrimental to family time, contributing to very low birthrates.

Even when they have vacation days, they don't use it. The Japanese government created quite a lot of national holidays to push people to stop working and spending more money.

And from what I've seen, condoms really are the last reason for the low birthrate...

Because in some businesses, it really is a faux pas to use up more then 8 vacation days. The government has been patching a broken system instead of tackling the system.
