Thanks to a new policy by the Abe government, women in Japan are being put in a double—or even triple—bind: Japanese women are being encouraged to have more children in order to increase the country's fertility rate and slow population decline. 
Shukrani ziiendee serikali ya Abe, wanawake wa Japan wanawekwa kwenye majukumu ya aina mbili- au hata matatu: Wanawake wa Japan wanahamasishwa kuwa na watoto wengi ili kuongeza kiwango cha Japan cha kuzaliana na kupunguza kiwango cha kushuka kwa idadi ya watu.
