JP governments are exploring drastic options to incentivize people settling down and having kids. Tokyo is considering 100k JPY per year per kid. I’d say that looks like the government version of “freaking out”.
Approx ~10k~ 1k USD per year is ~probably~ deffo not going to be enough, though.
- BlargMcLarg 4y ago>100k JPY per year per kid >Approx 10k USD per year 100k JPY is 742 dollars. Which of the two numbers did you fuddle?
- GauntletWizard 4y agoThe first; It's 100k/Mo/kid, though other numbers have been floated[1] and the current subsidy is already 40kJPY for low-income families[2], where "low-income" is below the average[3].

- dymk 4y agoWhoops, screwed that up.
- thematrixturtle 4y agoAre you missing a zero? 100k JPY is only 1000 USD.
