Declining birth rate in Japan

Declining birth rate is very serious problem in Japan. According to Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, population of Japan will begin to decrease in 2025 and senior citizen will occupy more than 30% in 2035. I think it's terrible. Nursing and medical system will be in danger of unraveling, and shortage of labor force may be inevitable. What should we do? Above all, I think it's important for Japanese government to prepare the child-care system. What's more, employment of women and senior citizen who have high motivation is needed. We can't ignore this problem.
