Koreans will get put up in a luxury hotel for the first year after giving birth and they still won't make'a da babies.
But I suspect a lot of that is simply the cost of housing and the free time to meet people romantically. I honestly think the sex industry in these countries plays a role in it, too. When we've commodified the process of love making to the point that men just drive in to downtown with a bag of toiletries and a wad of cash to stand in line for the privilege of hooking up with a C-list social media starlet... And women just... what? Become prostitutes? Save themselves for marriage to a guy that fucks prostitutes? Enter the service sector and become the subject of endless sexual harassment to the point that they all gross you out as a gender?
How the fuck does anyone in that country manage a romantic life under these conditions?
Occupied Korea is far more of a shithole than Japan. There is no childhood there and people's lives depends on one single exam and if they fail or get lower scores than it's 16 hours workdays everyday. Why would anyone have kids when their life will only have suffering.
Yeah Japan's work culture sucks but it's more like 12 hours of work with a lot of fucking around and pretending to work, at least for office jobs. Which is only slightly worse than the US.
According to wikipedia at least, Japan's working hours are less than the US these days. They're right in the middle of the OECD countries in terms of labor hours per worker, so unless something fucky is going on with the data Japan's fertility rate is a symptom of something else.
The problem with Japan, China and occupied Korea is that people are coerced into working overtime.
In Japan, it's usually after work meetings or people in the office just stay in late to work and other people feel uncomfortable to leave. There are no direct restrictions but social ones.
Occupied Korea is more dystopian because the Chaebol System requires constant suffering. So while Japan and China have moved slightly towards caring about worker wellbeing, occupied Korea on the other hand was trying to introduce a 90 hour workweek(also a 69 hour one) act last year which only died down because of international backlash.
