Christian missionaries and post-Korean War Americanization have wrought some truly terrible things on Korea.

True that. There have been so many wins in just a few years.

日本にもう子供はいません。

It`s not as bad as Korea, but this is no surprise. Things will get worse as the population of elderly people grows. Housing isn’t expensive like in the west, so that’s not the cause, but rather jobs are hard work and the yen is becoming less valuable. I have some hope in the さとり generation to break the toxic work cycle, but that won’t solve the affordability issues.
