Japan's two main reasons why they still have declining births to this day are:
1) Youths just don't care to have that type of lifestyle/family. This is a global phenomenon though.
And the big one...
2) Those who do want kids can't because the cost of child birth, care, and raising a child is getting out of control, let alone the cost of living in Japan.
The second point is the most important and also the barrier they are not going to overcome without getting into further debt--which itself compounds their economic issues.
The Yen has been historically weak for over decades now. This has resulted in near yearly stagnation or loss of purchasing power, going on for over a decade.
The only way for Japan to strengthen the purchasing power of the Yen is to increase the value of the Yen but thats virtually impossible as it can push Japan closer to economic and fiscal suicide.
Why? Because Japan has the highest debt to GDP ratio in the world, more than any country by a big gap.
If the BoJ raises interest rates, the Yen's strength improves but then they can no longer afford to service their debt and the Japanese economy and monetary system collapses and then the Yen dies along with Japans economy.
As their demographics shrinks, their economy shrinks which then makes their current economic woes even worse.
To fix one issue, they need to fix the other. But to fix the other, they need to fix the former...
Its going to be painful to fix for Japan.
