		Fire-Dragon-DoL on March 10, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Job seekers could soon face an 'employer's market'... Is the last one a joke? (I'm asking for real if it was sarcasm) From my understanding, Japan birthrate is dramatic. If it is not intended as a joke, and I completely apologize upfront, the tone can't be conveyed through chat, could you expand a bit? My poor knowledge was that Japan's birthrate is possibly the example of "things going bad"

Not a joke. Considering Japan has almost 0 immigration birthrate, the population is almost purely domestic, the number is really not that bad. China and Korea are much worse.
