🇯🇵 OKINAWA’S BABY BOOM: HOW U.S RULE CREATED JAPAN’S PRONATAL OUTLIER
While Japan’s birthrate collapses, Okinawa quietly defies the trend - with higher fertility for 40+ years.
Why? The island skipped Japan’s postwar population control push - because it was under American military rule until 1972.
That window preserved a pronatal culture, large families, and earlier marriage, even as the rest of Japan went antinatal.
Today, Okinawa leads the nation in big families despite weaker welfare support.
