Hi everyone! This is my first post here so hello!

I was wondering how difficult it is to have a big family in Japan. I mean, are there some aids for families with many kids? Or even with one kid?

It's just a wonder because here in Italy (I'm Italian), the constitution is very clear about the family being a foundamental building block of society but then, in truth, the state and the law doesn't help you at all...how about Japan? Does it laws think family is very important? Do a family receive economical help/taxes reductions and so on?
