Ah, I was under the impresson that Germany had a fairly advanced childcare system. My bad. The Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes seem to have some pretty sophisticated childcare systems in place as well as very flexible employment principles that recognize the importance of childcare to the community.

Protecting a culture is a tricky thing without stagnating it. ... but Japan is far beyond the "we have less kids because there's other things to do" with their plummeting marriage (or even relationship) rate. They have basic attitudinal issues to fix.
