Can Japanese Women Save Nippon?

Women could save Japan’s economy: IMF’s Lagarde

Women could rescue Japan’s chronically underperforming economy if more of them went to work, the female director of the International Monetary Fund said Saturday.

Christine Lagarde said Japan’s shrinking and greying workforce, which has left the country struggling to pay welfare bills, could really benefit from an injection of female talent.

“Because there is this ageing problem… we believe that women could actually help very much,” Lagarde told reporters in Tokyo, where the IMF is holding its annual meetings.

With the demographics of Japan and 50% the women out of the labor pool, it seems the Japanese need more women paying more taxes.

How do you put 20 million more people in the labor pool without providing 20 million new jobs? Is Toyota hiring?

...the Japanese need more women paying more taxes.

Bullcrap...

...the Japanese need less women statists (like Lagarde) sticking their collective noses into business that is not their concern.

While thinking about this I had a plot Bunny appear:

Nip Chicks Need Work!
They open a video network and pipe it into the intwebz.
20 million Japanese women showing their pussies, 24-7!

Middle Eastern webz are clogged as Oil money is spent of ivory skinned, tight pussied, Cyber Suzies!

With all the new foreign Exchange the Japanese buy up the Korean Stock market and try to put Koren Women to work.

They realize there a market for all kinds and soon the web was clogged,

The Webz suddenly exploded in a frenzy of simultaneous climax of 2 Billion wankers getting off at the same time, and all the servers went out!

It needs work.

Japan’s population last year shrank at the fastest rate since comparable records began, dropping by a record 0.2 percent, to an estimated 127,799,000 as of October 1 last year. It is expected to shrink dramatically over the next few decades.

Well if you do not have demand for the labor you are not going to get productive, tax generating jobs. Possibly a declining, aging population will create that demand by default, i.e. labor needed to keep the system operating becomes scarce.
