What is Japan, and the rest of the world, doing?
So what's one to do?

This is bound to end well for the failing Abenomics. Surely, more immigrants can make up for the loss though.A quarter of Japanese university students supported by a charity said they have thought of quitting school amid the coronavirus pandemic, mainly citing financial hardship and a decline in motivation, a survey by the group showed.
While I believe in trade school and jobs that pay highly based upon a specific trade learned, imagine 5% or more dropping out of university now.Asked to what extent they had given it a thought, 20.9 percent said "somewhat," while 4.1 percent replied "very much." Those who were "considering" doing so accounted for 0.7 percent, according to the online survey by the Tokyo-based Ashinaga.
Both guardians and future adults thereof will still face the burden of debt due to dropping out with bills to pay. However, the mental health crisis in Japan has always been high and has only increased due to Covid.The Ashinaga poll also found that 36.7 percent of the guardians surveyed have seen their income decrease amid the outbreak.
