Japan Economic Situation

My friend and I wanted to explore the education systems today in Japan, we decided to go to an Elementary school in Nanmoku where there is a whopping ONE student in the first grade class. We asked around about why there aren't more students in these classes and the only response is that the generations are getting too old to have kids anymore and there is not enough money to go around for the education system. We learned that more than 56% of Nanmoku's population is over the age of 65. At this rate, the sales of adult diapers will exceed that of baby diapers. We went around talking to different couples who all agreed that they would like to have more than two children, but can't because of the economic situation they are dealing with. And no one is doing anything about it. They would rather spend the money on useless construction than the education of their children.
