This is alarming; Japan is already on the verge of a population shortage as it's quite difficult for them to have children. Even with the help of the Government's benefits, it doesn't suffice. They should address this issue right away.

You think the problem with a child suicide spike is that it might cause a population shortage??

Last line can be applied to almost any problem, and can be seen as a de-facto method for solving problem.

They can solve it with immigration but Japanese people apparently dont like it.

Japanese actually care about their people in this regard. Lowest crime, and other good things...

Homogeneous societies seem to be more stable than ones with cultural diversity. Change my mind.

Importing foreigners isn't a solution, and besides, they become infertile too (within a few generations) if they adopt the local culture.
