Women over 30 should have womb removed conservative party leader claims
Kelly-Ann Mills

A man has said women should be banned from getting married if they are older than 25 and have their uteruses removed at 30, in a radical way to tackle Japan's falling birth rate.

Naoki Hyakuta, Japan’s Conservative Party leader, made the shocking comments on his Youtube channel, and raved that it could be the answer. Japan has had less babies born year-on-year for the last eight consecutive years.

According to the latest statistics, Japan’s fertility rate — the average number of babies a woman is expected to have in her lifetime — stood at 1.2 last year. The 727,277 babies born in Japan in 2023 were down 5.6% from the previous year, the ministry said — the lowest since Japan started compiling the statistics in 1899.

The data also showed that the number of marriages fell by 6% to 474,717 last year, something authorities say is a key reason for the declining birth rate. In the predominantly traditional Japanese society, out-of-wedlock births are rare.

Surveys show that younger Japanese are increasingly reluctant to marry or have children, discouraged by bleak job prospects, the high cost of living — which rises at a faster pace than salaries — and a gender-biased corporate culture that adds an extra burden only on women and working mothers.
