Japan's population is declining due to their low fertility rate of 1.21. To maintain the current Japanese population, a fertility rate of 2.08 is needed. Their low fertility rate is caused by Japanese women not wanting to settle down and have babies at an early age. Social attitudes about men working long hours and the woman staying home to care for her children have turned Japanese women off from having children. Many women complain that the government does not do a good job at supporting mothers. Worldwide the marriage age have increased. Today's women are breaking through barriers of discrimination, becoming more independent and competitive in their work field. Women including the Japanese have become too focused in their career path and too busy enjoying their independence to settle down and take on such a big responsibility of being a mother.
