To be clear, you think that the consistent country wide drop in japanese fertility for the last 50 years was due to bowling alleys, arcades the walkman and the first laptops? Or maybe other countries had a similar fertility decline that was masked by other factors Or maybe they didn't. You are throwing out nonsensical guesses, I linked you real information. Did you remember to adjust out the effects of immigration (not just immediately, but in subsequent generations)? What are you talking about, I linked you a graph of long term statistics. If you have questions about it, click on the link and read.

> you think that the consistent country wide drop in japanese fertility for the last 50 years was due to bowling alleys, arcades the walkman and the first laptops? I think it may have been due to having great entertainment options, of which the things I mentioned are indicative examples. > I linked you real information. No, you linked a Japan-specific graph and then asked "What did they have that the rest of the world didn't?". Which is obviously a meaningless question without knowing what you're comparing to.

  No, you linked a Japan-specific graph That's called real information. You are throwing out nonsense with nothing to back it up. "What did they have that the rest of the world didn't?" And you thought that bowling and cassette tapes for some reason dropped fertility rates in japan. Which is obviously a meaningless question without knowing what you're comparing to. What comparison do you need and why didn't you do it yourself? Japan's fertility as a country started dropping in the 70s and continued on a steady decline. Why did that happen? Your answer? Bowling.
