As for China, this is a result of the One Child Policy. They are trying to reverse it now because of the aging population but it seems people are not interested in having more children.

The Chinese population is around 1.4 billion, and despite the one-child policy, the population is still growing. Analysts expect the Chinese population to grow until 2030. Without the one-child policy, the situation could have been disastrous.

I don't see any disaster. In China people are not starving. Moreover, the Chinese produce a lot of industrial goods to the world and even export food. Until will continue these trends, the disaster will be.

Well I do not know anyone from Japan, but maybe that happens because they life busy life. They are unique country with unique things, and there thinking is not same as ours in Europe. But those things maybe happen because they want for them and for there children best, and they want more and more until its too much for them, or something bad happen in there life which they cant deal with. There are much possible reasons why that could happen, but its Sad either way.

Japan is one of the leaders in the world by quantity of suicides among adults and among children. I don't understand why. I've never been in this country, but I think that it is a very beautiful and technologically developed country. I think it interesting to live. Does anyone know why this happens?

I've heard of killing myself in Japan. People say that if anyone makes a big mistake, doing a very shameful thing, they choose to end their lives by thrusting a knife into their stomachs. Some say that in order to protect friends, and the crowds, if by suicide can protect many people, they are better suicide. I do not know if anyone is still doing that in this day and age. I'm not too sure.

It's a good thing that we do not have such a ritual, and many of them now would not be sitting at this forum because of their mistakes Grin

I think it's stupid. Mistakes are made all. If you are alive you always have the opportunity to correct your mistakes, and that can make dead? I believe that suicide is a sign of weakness, an attempt is easy to avoid problems.

Bla bla bla will you use your brain do you really expect a modernized people will do ancient rituals.
Most of the suicide are caused by stress. Cmon we are heading to an era where most people need 2 jobs in order to sustain basic living needs.

It is not of mistake actually but more in their pride/ego. Putting yourself in disgrace and shame is what really drives them to do suicides that is traced back from the history of Japanese people who do harakiri. I agree with you that by suicide, you are dumping the opportunity to correct your mistake and you are dumping the possibility to reclaim the honor or to get up from the disgrace/shame that you are in. Though in them, this is the only thing they can do to compensate it and they think that they will found honor or preserving the pride they have left by suicide and saving them and much especially their family or country from the disgrace/shame they have brought. Still, I believe that life is a gift to us and you have no right to take the life of others or to yourself but hence it on the time and to God's will as to when our life would end.

I don't live in Japan and get all the info online and in the news. It seems the Japanese are already starting to feel the burden of their aging population. Maybe that's why some there are getting depressed. They already have a low birth rate and so there is increased pressure on the children for caring for their parents. Less siblings you have mean less help financially.

I don't think that ageing is the reason. The Japanese birth rate (1.4 children per woman) is still higher than that in the neighboring nations such as South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Also, the Japanese life expectancy is much higher, meaning that the death rate is low.

At most, 1.4 would be two children. That's still too few to support aging parents if they also have to support their own families. Of course there's social security, but we all know it's mostly a Ponzi scheme where the current workforce is paying for the benefits of the retired sector.

In Japan, they normally work until 65-70 years. And the children and grandchildren do look after their parents and grandparents, rather than dumping them in some old-age home. And trust me, 1.4 is much better than the situation in the Chinese cities (where it is below 1.0).

If they're working up to that age then hopefully they've saved enough money for the family. Maybe it really is cultural.

As for China, this is a result of the One Child Policy. They are trying to reverse it now because of the aging population but it seems people are not interested in having more children.

They are not interested in a large number of people, and therefore they are loaded with work in order to multiply.

Well, the government seem worried. After all, your citizens below 60 make up the workforce. That segment should always be larger than the retired to make sure you have a steady supply of workers. Of course I'm not saying the elderly cannot contribute to the economy but then again you can't be sure if they'll start businesses. Some would just survive on pension.

I really like this wonderful country and its production, but this tradition with suicide a little scares the horror. All the same already 21 centuries and it would be possible to refuse such crazy idea.

Duuuuuuuuuude xD
What you're talking about is sepuku, it's a very old "traditional" ritual of suicide indeed but...
That's like asking if burning people alive is still a thing in Europe ^^

That WAS used but it's not anymore.

They do wrong, because you have to learn from mistakes to become stronger and smarter. This way for the weak.

Japan is far from being the leader in suicide rate according to Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate

Sri Lanka has twice as many suicides (34.6/100 000 inhabitants vs 15.4).
Even among developed countries, South Korea and Belgium are ahead.

No need to compare a nation like Sri Lanka, which has been ravaged by decades of civil war. The suicide rate in China is half of that in Japan. The rate in Russia (where there is a suicide epidemic) is very close to Japan. These two figures tell the story.

Asian parents need help to overcome their psychological (maybe even mental) issues, literally. I know an 18-year old Japanese guy who got a grade of 'A' while the whole class got 'A+,' and he stayed 4 days away from his home because he didn't know how to face his parents....

This is a 2015 list which could be older than that depending on the information/studies taken.

they have traditions that dictates about the honor and that sort of things, they have a huge amount of suicide because some of them cant live with the shame of dishonor for x's events in their life and for regain that honor they kill themself for the honor of their family.

It seem like dying is the easy way out for them actually. They can't just try harder and regain back the honor that they want. There are Japanese nationals in our country that also kill themselves by a sword. If they only just talk to someone who can tell them living is much happier than being dead, they might not be much of suicides to them.

Why so much care for honor when all you really need is winning and having money to live life.
