ECO: low birth rate

I. Issue and reason

Our issue is the low birth rate. We chose this topic because this is a big problem but many people don’t realize how serious the situation is. So, we wanted to tell everyone about this big issue.

II. Causes

1) One cause of this problem is that parents have to bear the burden economically. It costs a lot of money to raise children.

2) An additional cause of this problem is parents can’t do anything they want to. If you have children, you lose your freedom.

3) Finally, because people are getting married later in life, the physical task of having children is more difficult.

III. Solutions

1) One way to solve this problem is for parents to have two children.

2) Our second solution is to make it more difficult for teenagers to avoid having children. For example, we could prohibit contraception and raise the cost of an abortion from two hundred thousand yen to one million yen.
