People aren't not having kids here because of university. Fix work-life balance and daycare access in the bigger cities if you want more kids. Better, try to incentivize spreading out from Tokyo and revive the old towns out there. Edit: also, stagnant wages and inflation

Maybe, just maybe, make tuition free for domestic students?

Lol, this kind of means-tested garbage won't accomplish anything for young people on the fence about having kids. At most it'll let some older people go back to school for free.

I was scrolling by quickly, and I thought the title was:

Ke$ha Offers Kids Tuition Free Education.

I was simultaneously confused and happy for the children.
