Question

the government of japan has responded to its aging population by encouraging immigration encouraging women to both work and raise children forcing people to retire earlier expanding benefits for the elderly limiting the number of children allowed per family

Explanation:

Japan's aging - population is a significant social issue. Encouraging women to both work and raise children can increase the labor - force participation and also potentially boost the birth rate, which helps address the aging - population problem. Immigration is not a major approach Japan has taken on a large scale. Forcing early retirement would reduce the labor force and is counter - productive. Expanding elderly benefits is more of a response to care for the elderly rather than to address the aging population's root causes. Limiting children would worsen the aging situation.

Answer:

encouraging women to both work and raise children
