 Japan is quietly changing—babies are fewer, and seniors are everywhere.
 But how did it get this way? And why haven’t all those government plans worked?
 In this episode, we untangle the causes of Japan’s declining birthrate and aging society through stories and insights. 

 日本は静かに変化しています——赤ちゃんの数は減り、お年寄りがどこにでもいます。でも、どうしてこんな社会になったのでしょう?そして、なぜこれまでの政府の対策はうまくいかなかったのでしょうか?このエピソードでは、日本の少子化と高齢化が進んだ原因を、ストーリーと考察を通じてひも解いていきます。
