No Child Left Behind in Tokyo

quote:
Japanese government offers families 1m yen a child to leave Tokyo

Government boosts incentives to lure people to ‘unfashionable’ regional areas hit by ageing, shrinking populations

No mention of "immigration" as another policy tool to address Japan's population problem. :man-shrugging:
