JAPAN GOVERNMENT TO FORCE COUPLES TO GO ON COMPULSORY VACATIONS

Japan government wants to make it compulsory for married couples to go on more vacations...but there's a good explanation for this. The country has a low population growth. They say they are suffering from acute baby shortage. Only about 1million babies were born in Japan in 2014, the lowest figure on record for the country. Japan's health ministry also said that about 1,269,000 people died in 2014, indicating a natural population decline of 268,000. So basically, they were more people who died than were born. The country says its shrinking population is affecting their economy & want to do something about it.

The government figured couples are too busy hustling  So Parliament is now debating compulsory vacation for couples.
