I just wonder if they can ever get out of this death spiral for their country. I remember watching a bit of an documentary of men (young and old) who literally live out of net cafes in Japan. It was disturbing to since the same documentary mentioned that it's the norm now for people to be working just temp work (I use to do the same in manufacturing years ago) which can go away at a moment's notice. At some point this has to change, if there's X percent of wealth being generated in a country (and Japan has to be making some gains in that regard) but Y percent of the population that's un/under-employed then I wonder if the question shouldn't be about how we get these people to work but rather how we distribute the wealth to ensure everyone has their necessities met (housing, healthcare, food, education, etc)? I'm not proposing UBI, social democracy, or anything. I'm just posing this as a question because honestly I can't see this situation lasting for long unless there's a massive die off of the population (possibly literally).
