High birth rates mean more youth to contribute to the working population to deal with the ever increasing number of retirees, a sort of policy that Japan could benefit from! What if people on basic income got more money as they got older?
One problem I read about is that a lot of Japanese young men aren't working, just sitting around at home all day (living with their parents). Not only are they not contributing to society, they're actually living off their parents.
