> I think Japan can beat fertility problems with tech You are making an assumption that Japan's problem with falling birth rates is biological, but it's not: it's cultural and economical. Like many other developed countries, people in Japan are waiting longer to have children - and yes, that results in declining fertility due to the health problems associated with older parents. But that's only part of the story: to ensure population stability the average family needs to have > 2 children. Many Japanese couples cannot support two children, whether it be due to pressures at work, or more obviously a lack of appropriate and affordable family housing in major urban areas.
