That's the funny part. Over half of the Government of Japan's debt is owned by the Bank of Japan. It's like being in debt to yourself.

They're ridiculously good at managing money. So good that in fact, if you investigate it closely it is the other countries that are in debt to them.

Also many countries in Europe, including almost every country in Southern Europe and Scandinavian countries like Finland have lower fertility rates than Japan

Some of it is, but it’s really a hodgepodge. I’m in marketing tech, there’s some insurance, some food, Groupon, Uptake, consultants, and Fortune 500 companies.

None of it is either bleeding edge or hypergrowth territory, which may or may not be what the new college grads are looking for.
