Le phénomène de la très faible natalité au Japon : une situation aux causes socio-économiques multiples
Japan is one of the countries with the lowest birthrate in the world since 1980s, and the low birthrate has lead to certain problems for the country. The Japanese government holds women responsible for the decreasing birthrate, stating that they are losing their traditional family values and becoming egocentric. This change is due to a higher level of education, accompanied by growing personal and professional expectations for women. In this thesis, we try to defend, with different theories on low birthrate, that even though there may be a change in values, it is not entirely responsible for the actual situation in Japan. We will cover the economic condition, the lack of gender equality in different spheres of life, and finally the change in traditional values.
