Um... I am OK with fish but don't really want to eat them. I prefer watching them.

I was talking to my colleagues at lunch asking why Japanese would not have more babies, replied there is no enough infrastructure to care for babies. In many East Asian countries that household help is common, women continue working after having kids. Even in US the nursary would take babies as young as 6-month old.
Those mentioned above are not possible in Japanese society. It is unthinkable for a Japanese family to have live-in outsider or kids need to be at least 3 years old to be sent to the daycare center. Japanese housewives (strictly speaking, a wife is also considered an outsider) were forced to stay home to care for the young, the old and clean.
Women were driven out of salary earning world yet there is no one wants to have babies. Who is going to support the old people?
