Kurtofan posted:How big are Japan's economic issues? I do not expect Japan to make it to the 2020 Olympics without some serious poo poo going down. Japan keeps dumping money into the economy to keep it going, but it does so in a really lovely inefficient way due to vested interests. This might be tolerable if Japan's economy was still growing, but due to a lovely women/family unfriendly business culture and a xenophobic populace that prevent much immigration, the population is declining and with it any chance of growth. Combine this with the fact that the populace is aging and it gets even worse. In 20 years, the main export of Japan might be horrifying news stories about the impoverished elderly being eaten by wild dogs while scavenging for food.

So it turns out dumping a regressive tax increase on a shaky economy has poo poo all over demand and sent the economy back into recession. Who could have ever foreseen this turn of events?

Stringent posted:Is there any evidence that the tax has anything to do with the recession? I don't see how you could argue against it. Wages are stagnant and costs are rising. You slap a regressive tax increase on top of that and then the numbers for domestic consumption plummet. The BBC are running the headline Japan falls into recession as consumers 'stop spending' on their site. Another article includes an analysis from their Tokyo Correspondent saying much the same thing.

Well yes, the recession is really caused by structural problems. In my opinion, the fact that something as regressive as this was the only solution the political system could poo poo out is an extension of those structural problems.

ookiimarukochan posted:As problematic a viewpoint that is, it's better than actually trusting official Japanese government statistics given how hilariously fiddled they tend to be. Sure, but they tend to be fiddled in the direction of proving that there are TERRIFYING FOREIGN CRIMINAL SYNDICATES that cause all the problems. I really don't think there much point in respecting a guy who's opening gambit is "Not sure why the American servicemen in Okinawa can't seem to stop raping locals ".

Ron Darling posted:Is there any way to fix it other than implement a reverse China style "Two child policy" (where families have to have two children)? The thing is that we know how to boost the fertility rate for women in 1st world countries. It's just that they're all things that Japan and it's government won't ever do. Mandatory parental leave for both parents. Support for working mothers. Paying enough to be able to afford kids. Battling the work/drinking culture so that parents have time for family. 7c Nickel fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Apr 3, 2017 |

Those numbers have a different context in a society that tries to rely solely on in country births to maintain it's population.
