Umm...I think the child control thing is in China only. I guess it depends on the school they go to in Japan.
2 :
i don't know. google it :)

ive heard they give it up for adoption-- my sister has an adopted asian friend. (not that that answers the question or anything, but...)

24/7 365, but they graduate at like 14. And I believe dude is right about child control. China is the only one I know of.

I think they go to school 6 days a week. China goes 7 days a week.

Kids in Japan do go to school all year long. But they have breaks and holidays so thay do not go 365 days a year. Also, the one child policy is only enforced in China. People in Japan may have as many children as they want no matter if its girl or boy.

Child control is China instead of Japan. As for kid going school, my daughter is 7yrs in elementary grade 1. 5 days a week and schooling hours started off from 8.20 to 12noon to gradually 1.30 and 2.50 alternatively. However, later her school hours would follow the rest of the school that ends around 3pm. For those in middle. junior and high school students, there are classes and activities during sat and sun and I supposed that when the nightmare started right up to U. There is a break for every season change for about a week to 10 days xcept summer break about 1 and a half month and winter break to coincide with year end.

Children in most industrialized countries go to school more days per year and more hours per day than in America. And as stated above, the one-child rule is only in China.

no and no Japanese chiledren basically go school 5days a week.and they have vacations.but if they are eager for clab activities,for mid and high school children,the number of holidays terribly decrease. the birth control policy is adopted in China. on the contrary,a extreme drop of the birth rate is one of the most serious social problems in Japan.

Are these questions serious or a joke? Anyways, kids go to school 5 or 6 days ( Monday through Friday or Saturday) a week. School hours are 8 a.m to 3 p.m.Monday through Friday. And 8 a.m to noon on Saturday. There are three semesters in Japan; April to August, September to December, and January to March. And there are summer break,winter break, and spring break. And we are not Chinese so we can have as many kids as we want, and of course we don't give up a second for adoption (or kill it----are you crazy? what kind of question is this?). Anyways, we are not Chinese but Japanese.

No. Depending on the school, kids go either 5 or 6 days a week (Monday to Friday and a half-day on Saturday). While they don't have a long summer break, they do have 3 breaks during the year of about 2-3 weeks so they do go to school in the summer. And the 1 child rule was for China, not Japan.

I think you've mixedup Japan for China. Japanese Students mostly go to school 6 days a week. Regarding 1 daughter - Japan is in a population chrisis. Japans birth rate is decreasing every year. I dont think that they still have that policy in Japan. The govrnment is encouregaing Japanese people to have kids, they give some kind of incentives to people. China and Japan are verry diffrent

No, actually China has abolished the 1 child only rule so this no longer even applies to China anymore. Japan has never, ever, ever had a 1 child only policy. The government is trying to encourage women to have 3 or more children right now because of the population shortage (too many aging citizens, not enough young to support the tax burden). The trouble is, living expenses and education are very expensive here, housing is small, and large cities (where most of the population live) are very crowded so many people choose not to have many children. Many people also say they would prefer to have a female child because they are cute and generally easier to raise! But this of course doesn`t mean they want to get rid of the male babies either. As for school being 7 days a week, actually it is 5 or 6 days a week, however if you include Juku (cram school) or school activities you could say many children go to school 7 days a week. Many even go to cram school after school hours until 9pm at night! Most students get the month of August off for summer vacation,　2 weeks off for spring vacation, a week off in May and one or two weeks off in the winter for New Years holidays, but then, many students also go to cram school or school activities for much of that vacation time unfortunately for for them. ..

Kids go to school 6 days a week...Saturdays being the half day. Many go to juku after school for extra studies and tutor service. You can have as many kids as you want. (most will stick with 1 or 2)

Wow...This is why people need to get out and travel and experience things outside their own country. Japan never had a "one child" rule, that's China. In fact, Japan has the lowest birthrate in the world, and the government is trying to encourage people to have more kids. Japan WANTS to increase its population. School children have class from Monday-Friday, just like in the US, but often go to school on weekends to participate in club activities (sports, band practice, dance, etc.) I think that classes were formerly held on Saturdys as well, but this is no longer the case.
