This is alarming; Japan is already on the verge of a population shortage as it's quite difficult for them to have children. Even with the help of the Government's benefits, it doesn't suffice. They should address this issue right away.

- notsureaboutpg 5y agoSuicide and depression are incredibly difficult things for anyone to address because they stem from unquantifiable things. When people feel like life is not worth living, despite having so many material goods and most of their basic needs taken care of, what is a government to do? Suicide and depression are high in developed, stable countries. Many people there have everything but feel there is no point to life. Our cultures of extreme nihilism which deemphasize the worth of human life are not something a government can fix even if desired.
