🕖用新聞學英文｜雙語教學花路米：61% Say It's Hard to Raise a Child in Japan 61%表示在日本扶養小孩很困難

👉Article From America to Italy to South Korea, birthrates have been decreasing in many countries around the world. Since 2005, Japan has been doing international surveys every five years to try to learn what it can do to raise its own low birth rate. The most recent survey was done between October 2020 and January 2021. It included a total of about 4,400 people aged 20 to 49 in Japan, France, Germany and Sweden. People were asked if they thought it was easy to have and raise children in their country. In Japan, only 4.4% of people said it was "very easy" to have and raise children there. This compared to 25.5% in France, 26.5% in Germany and 80.4% in Sweden. Just 2.1% of people in Sweden said it was "very" or "somewhat" difficult to have and raise children there. But in Japan that figure was 61.1% — and this number has been rising over the last 10 years. When people were asked why they think it is easy to raise children in Japan, the top reason given was that the country is safe. In France and Germany, the top reason was good child care. But in Sweden, the top reason for it being easy to have children was support for education costs. Good income security while taking time off to care for children was a close second. 👉Summary 日本最近一次發的國際性生育問卷是在2020年10月和2021年1月間完成。總共約有4,400位介於20歲至49歲來自日本、法國、德國和瑞典的人參與。民眾被詢問在他們的國家生小孩和扶養他們是否容易。 在日本，只有4.4%人說在那裡生育小孩「非常容易」。 相較之下，法國25.5%，德國26.5%，瑞典則有80.4%。甚至有高達61.1%的日本人認為在日本生育小孩「非常」或是「稍微有點」困難，而且這個數字在過去十年來不斷在上升。 👉Words & Phrases raise養育 support幫助 income收入 References Article: Engoo Daily News (https://engoo.com.tw/app/daily-news/article/61-say-its-hard-to-raise-a-child-in-japan/zmspggSlEeyum1PdKRulFw) (https://engoo.com.tw/) #每周一、四更新 #收聽無廣告不用APP選教育電台 線上收聽 #進一步學習語言點選教育電台 語言學習頻道 ----- 英語節目主持人：屠潔(Jenny)、Neil ----- Apple｜Spotify｜Google｜KKBOX｜Fistory｜SoundOn 搜尋訂閱：世界咖啡館 ----- ----- 🎙教育電臺🎙 📻官網:https://bit.ly/39ISswV 🔗粉絲團:https://bit.ly/nerpodcastlink 🎧線上收聽:https://bit.ly/3cyxBhE 🎙Channel+精選節目:http://bit.ly/499xCn5 Powered by Firstory Hosting
