Oh yeah completely agree there. The video touches on the fact that family-owned conglomerates run the place and directly benefit from these societal issues, maintaining a system that serves their interests, but doesn't really pull on that thread to get to the bottom of the problem which, as you say, lies in capitalist relations.

Also the fertility rate crisis thing has been a common orientalist trope in bourgeois media. I've only really seen it applied to East and Southeast Asian industrialized nations. Inevitably to bourgeois authors, it either has no solution or leads into Malthusian rabbit holes.
