Il Giappone sta sparendo. La Corea ha scelto l'estinzione. Tutto per scelta.

In 2023, 727,277 babies were born in Japan. This is the lowest number since records began. In 1949, there were 2.7 million. Today, more adult diapers are sold in Japan than baby diapers every year. 8.7 million abandoned houses, called akiya, are scattered across the country. Some are in beautiful locations. The government gives them away to those who want to live there, with incentives of up to $10,000 per family. By 2100, according to official projections, Japan will have approximately 60 million inhabitants. Today, it has 124 million. This is the story of the oldest country in the world, which is disappearing on its own. Not by war. Not by disaster. By a series of cultural, economic, and social choices that have accumulated over decades. And which affects us much more than we think. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Hook: More adult diapers than baby diapers 01:30 – The real numbers: the decline that doesn't stop 03:00 – The akiya: 8.7 million abandoned homes 06:00 – Why Japanese people don't have children 08:30 – The cost: Tokyo vs. having a child 09:40 – The work culture that kills the family 01:50 – The desperate government: what it tried and why it doesn't work 02:00 – The comparison: South Korea is even worse 02:30 – What happens when a country ages like this 03:00 – My opinion 05:00 – CTA ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📌 Real Asia, the one that goes beyond trends.
