Russian women say the idea of using therapy to get them to have children is coercive, cruel and unworkable, and will do little to reverse declining birth rates — currently at their lowest in 200 years. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/04/01/world/society/russian-women-plans-children/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #russia #women039sissues #abortion #parenthood #children

Japan will introduce its joint custody system on Wednesday, marking a sweeping overhaul of the country's family law under a revised Civil Code, the first of its kind in over a century. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/31/japan/society/joint-custody-starts-april/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #japanesecourts #domesticviolence #childabuse #parenthood #divorce #children #justiceministry #familylaw #marriage
Japan rolls out new joint custody system

The change ends the country's long-standing sole custody framework, under which only one parent could retain parental rights following a divorce.

Sometimes, being a hero doesn’t look the way we expect.

Not loud.
Not glamorous.
Not perfect.

Just tired.
Uncertain.
But still showing up every single day.

For the ones who need you most.

You give up so much, put yourself last, and fight your own silent battles—just to make sure your kids are okay.

Maybe no one sees it.
But it means everything.

You are a true hero!

Japan is set to impose a "singles tax" next month as part of financing for measures to boost fertility rates, but it's not a tax and not levied on singles. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/26/japan/japans-singles-tax/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #japaneseeconomy #taxes #familyplanning #parenthood #children
Japan’s ‘singles tax’ is just one battle after another

The plan has attracted vitriol due to its name and the fact that it burdens single-person households, which are now the most common type of household in Japan.

A society that shields parents from criticism and reflection can never be democratic.
I would even say a society where parents shield each other from criticism can never be democratic.
