Japan needs More babies by Denis Warner Tokyo special Twenty years ago when i lived in this City the Back streets used to be full of children playing hopscotch with their younger Brothers and Sisters tied to their backs. It is a sight that one sees no longer. In those Days the Perva Sive fear of the future in Japan was Over population. The Post War baby Boom promised to break on the labor Market about this time or a Little earlier with c catastrophic consequences socially and economically. Centuries ago infanticide was widely practice in Japan especially in the Rural areas As a Means of regulating family sizes. Although it was frowned on by the authorities it had widespread acceptance among the population. Unwanted additional baby girls and weak boys were quietly disposed of. There was probably less Public opposition therefore to the introduction of legalized abortion Early in the occupation years than there would have been in almost any other country. It was however a draconian Means of population control and its practice began to decline with the widespread dissemination of birth control information and the increasing affluence of the society. The initial act of abortion and birth control however was what the planners had hoped for. By the late 1950 demographers were predicting a population curve that would pass the 100 million Mark in the latter part of the 1960s and then Settle Back again just below the Century. For several years these expectations seemed Likely to be fulfilled. Families dropped sharply in size. Where once families of from seven to 10 children were quite usual now the three child family was higher than average. Apartment houses Are not fashioned for Large families and More and More this was be coming a land of apartment dwellers. Seldom have plans worked out so Well or so ill. For instead of the Post War baby Boom causing a glut on the labor Market one of Japan s major problems now is a labor shortage. In the past year or. Two there has been a tendency towards somewhat larger families and the latest prediction is that the population will not Start to taper off until it has reached the 120 to 123 million Mark about 1985. But whether this will be a sufficient population for Japan s needs remains in serious doubt. According to a govern ment White paper offers of employment to lower secondary school graduates in March 1968, numbered 4.5 times More than the applications for positions the situation was Only marginally better Amone upper secondary school graduates. In this bracket there were 4.4 times More jobs than applicants. In 1966 the estimated labor shortage totalled about a million. Last year t h e Gap widened to 1.5 million. This year economists predict that though the rate of economic expansion May slow Down slightly there will be nearly More jobs than applicants. While Industry continues to absorb labor with an insatiable appetite the reduction of the birth rate brought about by population control is now. Having its effect. As the number of jobs increase the flow of labor into the Market has begun to decrease. For a time the brighter prospects in the cities Drew younger people from the Rural areas. But this source of labor is also drying up. The Young people have left the country. Unemployment is now under a million or about the irreducible mini mum. It has become a seller s Market in the universities. Major Indus trial companies Are spend ing millions of yen to attract the Stu dents. F r in g e benefits offered include comfortable apartments. And the Stu dents themselves study. Company prospects with All the care of prudent investors in the Stock Market. Pamphlet claims Quebe cers earn less pay highest taxes Montreal up the average que Becer makes 25 per cent less a year than his counterpart in Ontario but pays the highest taxes in the country Paul Gerin Lajoie says in his new pamphlet of suggested ways to improve Quebec s eco nomic situation. The 62-Page Booklet written in French by the influential provincial Liberal in collaboration with several unnamed scholars and politicians advocates general integration of government programs to stimulate the sluggish provincial econ omy. The pamphlet was launched Here by the former education minister wednesday night. In the introduction or. Gerin Lajoie says he is not reiterating the policy of a political party but presenting an outline for the working out of a comprehensive program. The future of the French Ca Nadian culture depends on its economic situation and today the control of Quebec s Economy is not in the hands of Quebe cers and in particular of he writes in an outline of economic Dis 1 parities. Quebec 40 per cent of Canada s unemployed although it numbers Only 29 per cent of the country s population. In the last 15 years the province s unemployment has always exceeded the rest of Canada and frequently doubled that of on individual Revenue in the province amounted to an aver age of 25 per cent less than the Ontario average but the prov Ince has the highest taxes in the country. Since 1951, twice As much fluence the Economy on a Long Money has been invested in on Tario As in Quebec which has a similar population and geography he says in a warning that Quebec s Industrial Structure is top concentrated in the area of primary Industry. Some 24 per cent of Urban Quebe cers scrape by on less than a year and the aver age income of French language Montre Alers is 40 per cent lower than that of English language Montre Alers. Another Section of the Booklet deals with the responsibility of the Quebec government in heal ing the province s economic ills.

In conclusion the author says his suggestions do not pretend to be original but he has tried to present a coherent system of measures for economic growth and to encourage a change in the Basic attitude of Quebe cers regarding their econ i omy.
