Indonesia is keen to benefit from its young population, and its role as one of the largest suppliers of migrant workers is likely to ‘grow substantially’ in the future.
It certainly contributes to it. I later found out that this culture is not just specific to strangers but even family members. My mother in law fights to watch my kid. They want to spend time with their grandson and enjoy his company. In Japan, grandparents do not watch grandkids. They sort of have a “you brought it into this world, you take care of it” mentality.
Also the 996 work culture and the females complete dedication to the kids(they must quit their job and only focus on the kids). Even the dad’s don’t take equal weight in child bearing.
I was in Universal Studios and was walking from the parking lot back to our car we saw a couple of kids passed out being carried on the moms back, the oldest kid we saw was probably 7 years old. This petite mom was clearly struggling while the dad was empty handed, not even a backpack on.
The family eventually stopped to readjust. I’m thinking the dad was going to carry the kid the rest of the way… Nope… The dad helped move the kid to the front side of the mom. Dad, still empty handed. Still carrying nothing.
Japan is a terrible place for a family. It’s built into the culture. It’s part of the country’s mentality. They will be extinct very soon.
