Why are Asian countries like South Korea, Japan, and China have declining in human population?

Do people in Asia think they're too good to have children because they are too obsessed with traditional and being polite?

They are hurting their economy more than helping it because kids are the future. They need to get out of there shell's worrying about people judging them if they had a baby without being married

*I see neither as true. Those nations have come to value Western Culture as ideal. They have to decide whether to get lots of stuff and residences or to have and raise children. Soon their old age pensions will go dry and at least the Chinese will engage compulsory euthanasia. Japan may as well. Their religious cultures valued families that but these nations have largely abandoned religion. Non-Muslim Europe is committing demographic suicide as well and the USA is not far behind.

It is because they are far too crowded already, have you seen videos of Japanese or Chine city streets, jam packed full of people. So that is why the population is decreasing.. Birth control!

Also, this is a good thing because with global warming, we are gonna need less people on the planet (too many already) due to more areas being inhabitable due to the heat and less food resources.

The other reason why birth rates have declined, is because their people seem to be disinterested in sex, probably due to porn culture and technology.

I don't think it hurts there economies because of all there technology and robots they have.

I don't know what you mean by the marriage thing because that is largely due to religion and those countries don't tend to follow the main religions and China even discourages and restricts religious beliefs

These East Asian countries are mostly atheistic, they typically don't believe in having lots of children at least that's what they have adopted as of late since they those countries have several millions of people as its population and China over 1 billion people.

All of those countries once had high fertility rates. The high and rising cost of raising a child and the demands of the workplace in these countries is the explanation for their low current fertility rates.

japan has insane work culture , most of their people literaly live to work , which means many of them almost has no time for dating , they are married to their job

as for south korea and china , i am not sure

[CALIGVLA]

True. It's the case for China and SK as well. Their "hard work culture" is extremely demanding.

I'm not sure of the others but, at least in Japan, from what I'm told, they have a one baby per family rule.

China had the one-child policy, a program that limited most Chinese families to one child each. It was implemented nationwide by the Chinese government in 1980, and it ended in 2016.

Maybe because they’re packed with people with not a lot care into housing.

Because they are smart and know the future requires a population of 2 billion or less
