日本是少子化非常严重的国家,而在近二十年低迷的经济环境里,日本家庭的育儿费用在家庭总收入的比率却一直没有减少过。经济压力降低了他们的生育热情,所以高额的育儿费用导致低出生率的一个重要因素。 Japan is a country with a very small minority. In the recent two decades of economic downturn, the Japanese family’s share of the total family income in child rearing has not diminished. Economic pressures have reduced their fertility, so high child-rearing costs have been an important factor in low birth rates.
