Japan To Offer Incentives

Chocolate. Strawberries. Oysters. Ginseng. Balut. Individually, they have different purposes. Together, they're aphrodisiacs, stuff that supposedly increases your mojo and makes you feel all fuzzy in your happy place. Most aphrodisiacs are organic, but the Japanese are trying to change that. Faced with the problem of a declining birth rate, the Japanese are offering cash, cellphones and electronic items to couples to encourage more baby-making.

The Japanese, both the government and the corporate sector, are going out of their way to boost Japan’s declining birth-rate, offering cash, free services and electronics to encourage people to have children. Reuters reports.

"Employers are offering workers a number of ‘baby bonuses’ as incentives for to-be parents as Japan is facing a dilemma with birth-rates going lower and lower. Japan is faced today with a rapidly aging and now shrinking population.

Big name businesses such as Canon, Sharp and Panasonic are already handing out financial aid for working mothers and cover costs for fertility treatments.

So tell your Japanese friends! Who knows, maybe you can get freebies for spreading the news?
