Trivia
The film is in part inspired by the low fertility rate of Japan, and the predictions that the country would experience a severe decline in its population during the 21st century due to the lack of new births. By 2026 estimates, Japan had a total fertility rate of 1.23, very low in comparison to most other countries. The few countries which had even lower fertility rates in 2026 included (among others) Italy (1.22), Lithuania (1.22), Thailand (1.19), Chile (1.12), Malta (1.12), China (1.03), Ukraine (1.00), Singapore (0.97), Taiwan (0.86), and South Korea (0.76).
