Japinos finding hope

TOKYO: With Japan’s GDP contracting in the third quarter of 2014, the world’s third largest economy is in the midst of a recession. Its lethargic economy has caused the yen to slide to its lowest level against the major international currencies since 2007.

The biggest problem facing Japan, however, is not the economy or its plummeting currency but the arctic weather in the bedrooms of its citizens. For almost a generation now, Japan appears to have to have put a brake on baby-making.
