Free Reading : Japanese government to play matchmaker

      Japan is always interesting to discuss, in all aspects of anything especially about its latest discoveries especially about technology. The Japanese government is playing Cupid to get more couples to have a baby. Japan has the lowest birth rate in the world. This is a new way to get people to have children. One of them is matchmaking. Japan will support local government projects to speed up dating, matchmaking and other ways to persuade couples to get together. There will be great efforts in the next five years to improve this "critical situation". Japan can face serious social problems.
       One reason for the birth rate in Japan is the cost of having children. The government hopes to help with this. This includes plans for free nurseries, fertility treatment assistance, and receiving father's leave of up to 80% by 2020. There are also plans to help families with three or more children. By 2060, nearly 40% of people in Japan will be over 65 years old. They already produce 25%. Birth rate fell from 4.54 children per mother in 1947 to 1.42 in 2014.
