Another problem is fewer workers to care for a growing elderly population, possibly requiring \u201cinstitutionalized day care\u201d for the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eberstadt noted: \u201cOver 30% of the women born in Japan today won\u2019t have children; 50% will never have grandchildren.\u201d So many elderly Japanese are dying alone there\u2019s a name for it, \u2018lonely death,\u2019 and a whole industry has arisen to clean up the remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China also has a coming demographic crisis, due in part to the one-child policy in effect for decades. Eberstadt observed: \u201cIn China, as far back as anyone can recall, extended families have always been the ultimate safety net. Soon, a lot of Chinese won\u2019t have them to fall back on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This worldwide problem of Demographic Winter will continue to grow unless there is a cultural shift toward having more children.Learn more by watching&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/app.donorview.com\/Communication\/Click?prm=15KE-xHp-HQ0CyOCbwh6UCYPB2bIihE1M7Djo8U8McxoGM7tiiAnDFEnXHJyjzJF6a0QVmPQlzyvBhJnLMQGS7Bf1dXTsxHJvOnX3xIpbr2WPvAt26YFiUILPBvGvT25unBmsBJ_SnuTdUsazy3Q1C_71N8bN9QJ-bwGDExaGbheXG5BkHDVoFod4530wbxK4rSPTnacSJEpVY2nVlvXY9JLTaSVsaeZ3uv9mP5yj_A1&amp;target=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fwatch%3fv%3dV8HTSibVQ2M\">this video<\/a>&nbsp;and checking out&nbsp;the Ruth Institute\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/app.donorview.com\/Communication\/Click?prm=15KE-xHp-HQ0CyOCbwh6UCYPB2bIihE1M7Djo8U8McxoGM7tiiAnDFEnXHJyjzJF6a0QVmPQlzyvBhJnLMQGS7Bf1dXTsxHJvOnX3xIpbr2WPvAt26YFiUILPBvGvT25unBmsBJ_SnuTdUsazy3Q1C_71N8bN9QJ-bwGDExaGbheXG5BkHDVoFod4530wbxK4rSPTnacSJEpVY2nVlvXY9JLTaSVsaeZ3uv9mP5yj_A1&amp;target=https%3a%2f%2fruthinstitute.org%2fresource-center%2fdemographic-winter%2f\">Demographic Winter Resource Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/app.donorview.com\/Communication\/Click?prm=15KE-xHp-HQ0CyOCbwh6UCYPB2bIihE1M7Djo8U8McxoGM7tiiAnDFEnXHJyjzJF6a0QVmPQlzyvBhJnLMQGS7Bf1dXTsxHJvOnX3xIpbr2WPvAt26YFiUILPBvGvT25unBmsBJ_SnuTdUsazy3Q1C_71N8bN9QJ-bwGDExaGbheXG5BkHDVoFod4530wbxK4rSPTnacSJEpVY2nVlvXY9JLTaSVsaeZ3uv9mP5yj_A1&amp;target=https%3a%2f%2fapp.donorview.com%2fCommunication%2fClick%3fprm%3d15KE-xHp-HQ0CyOCbwh6UCYPB2bIihE1M7Djo8U8McxoGM7tiiAnDFEnXHJyjzJF6a0QVmPQlzyvBhJnLMQGS7Bf1dXTsxHJvOnX3xIpbr0j8gcTKHRRrsx4w-pfUY4cSWHKzjL24e47JoLUDgY98rexWf-34kVj9XLa8NyPN0_31gUOqgIYd4J0SN0gjRWqW_gj5eJrTbR9Qa7gleFaeYNMEUMCOuliyjmpWEUlV1U1%26target%3dhttps%253a%252f%252fruthinstitute.org%252f\">The Ruth Institute<\/a>&nbsp;is a global non-profit organization, leading an international interfaith coalition to defend the family and build a civilization of love.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse&nbsp;has a Ph.D. in economics and has taught at Yale and George Mason University.
