Because of the aging population. When they retire, who replaces them? I think that's what the government is worried about.

I also feel sorry for the young people paying into the National Health Insurance plan. The old people are benefitting from it due to how littles they have to pay and how much is covered.

Well it's not like we're gonna run out of humans. I don't know it's just a funny thing to be concerned about...we need people to have sex!

Maybe Japan should lighten up on immigration policies to get more workers if they're that worried.

All the talk of C-sections reminded me of mine. By happy coincidence, today is the 9th anniversary of the day I had mine. (That means it is the duckling's b-day today FTR.) In my case, it was something I planned on early, since I was born that way myself. My own mom was in labor for an excruciating 26 hours, and ended up needing one because I wasn't coming out and they feared I would suffocate on my own er, poop. So they did a cut and sew job.

Cut to- 30 years later, and I told my OB-GYN that I would probably need one for much the same reason- hips not wide enough to pass that lil watermelon. She of course assured me it would not be neccessary, but I knew better. Sure enough when the day finally arrived(self-induced, I might add- she was wrong about a LOT of things, including both the conception and due dates) lo and behold, the lil one's head got stuck on my pelvis- much the same way mine did on mom's!! Six hours in, and both our heartrates were low-or so they told me- so they had little choice. Oddly enough, I never felt more than a bit of pressure, and that was before the TWO epidurals. (Apparently one wasn't enough.) After that I felt absolutely nothing. Literally. My body from chest down was so numb that touching or even hitting my own legs and torso felt like I was touching an inanimate object, because my body felt nothing at all. Weird experience. Like not having a body at all below a certain point.

Needless to say, the OB did not stick around for the "I told you so"s, and just before they took me back for the op, I had to threaten going over her head to force her to do the tubal ligation that I had signed papers for eight months earlier on my secind visit to her office. She had been trying to dissuade me from getting it the entire pregnancy, and then "conveniently" lost the paperwork before the procedure. Hated that woman. But it seems that some doctors lean too far in the OPPOSITE direction of not wanting to do C-sections at all. Or anything else the woman asks for.

I read an article recently that America is heading in this direction with millennials as well. The high divorce rate and broken family court system is one of the things scaring them off. They don't want to have a kid with someone and end up paying half their paycheck to them while they live in a shack and have no money.

And that Ducky, is a pretty good example of a necessary c-section.

That's actually a good chunk of why I'd rather be a single parent from the get-go, and why I've chosen a job where I'd have a prospect of working from home.

I'm very pro C-section. But for selfish reasons.

I like to sit in the C-Section at concerts, an up close & personal view of the performers without the neck pain of the A-Section.

Many millennials are flat out choosing not to have kids, period. Even straight married couples.

For some reason I always seem females say this in real life and online. They're straight and married, but they don't want to have any kids. I guess the time of traditional families are over. Let alone all the gay/lesbian couples who can't produce kids of their own so they adopt, but that's not contributing to the birth rate since those kids already existed with previous parents.

Let's see YOU push a screaming crying infant through your hips sometime.

This thread is now proceeding exactly as I had hoped. Nay, it has surpassed my optimistic expectations.

For some reason, they all seem to have a "why wake up at 6 am to feed your loud sticky brats waffles when you could wake up at 1 pm?" mentality from my experience. Mostly on tumblr. Oh, the numbers of logical fallacies that creates .
(I for one would much rather be taking care of my children at 6 am than waking up at 1 pm. I may hate waking up at 6 am, but I hate waking up at 1 pm even more)

People probably don't want them because it's expensive to have kids. Also, the lack of job security is probably another factor these days.
