'This is death to the family': Japan's fertility crisis is creating economic and social woes never seen before
A Japanese soccer fan after Japan loses its 2014 World Cup soccer match against Colombia. It's midnight in Tokyo and Takehiro Onuki has just left the office, 16 hours after his shift began. Onuki, a 31-year-old salesman, is headed to the train station to catch the 12:24 a.m. The train will quickly fill up with other professional working men. At about 1:30 a.m., after having made a pit stop at a convenience store to grab a sandwich, Onuki arrives home. When he opens the bedroom door, he accidentally wakes his wife, Yoshiko, who just recently fell asleep after working an 11-hour day.
