Japan

Geography Japan is a small country composed of several islands. The country is located above an intersection of 4 tectonic plates. Due to this location, Japan experiences many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

American birth-rates

Child rearing Families are very close. Most often grandparents will continue to live with the family. While the children are still young, many families will live in small apartments. When the children get older the family will move to a larger place. It is the mother’s job to take care of the children’s schooling. Japanese children are “spoiled” more than American children. This is because Americans are more independent and raise their child to be independent as well.
