Indonesia is keen to benefit from its young population, and its role as one of the largest suppliers of migrant workers is likely to ‘grow substantially’ in the future.
Having lived there for a few years, I don’t think this describes Japanese child raising culture at all. I’m not sure how you can infer so much about the culture based on a single visit to Japan without any ability to speak the language. You may have just had culture shock.
Fortunately my wife speaks the language and was able to get around ok.
The single visit was unimpressive as a parent.
I think it mostly stems from the attitude they gave my son and the unwillingness to not occupy the kids/elderly seats on the train.
There was also a situation when we were at the airport and the wind was so intense that it blew my son’s stroller over along with all our luggage. My son was rolling towards the street. 3 Japanese men stood behind us and stared. 2 of them laughed before proceeding past us without a hint of helping. In America, all 3 men would have helped. In Taiwan they would have done the same thing. I have a video of it since I was taking a time lapse on my 360 camera if you feel it’s not enough proof.
Also,
Women often have to give up their careers and be the primary child bearing person when she becomes a mother. Fathers are not required to give up their jobs. Video shown here. https://youtu.be/QNbabCMTFzw?si=hzanmej9l7ECCMgN

Op definitely seems to live a Disney life at first glance.
