The fact that Shinzo Abe had never had children was a cause for numerous discussions in Japan earlier this century, follows Periscope.
When he had been prime minister, Abe had encouraged the Japanese public to have more children as an attempt to prevent the drop in fertility rate.
Speaking in an interview in 2006, his wife, Akie Abe, had said that she had been under pressure to have children.
Of course, as a politician's wife, I was under great pressure, including from his electoral body”, she had said of Bungei Shunu.
Now that this has become more difficult because of my age, people have stopped showing that I should keep trying. But in earlier periods, I've had fertilization treatments”, it was expressed.
I think all this is fate and I have to admit this- the fact that I married a politician who became prime minister and that we were not blessed with children”, the wife of the former Japanese prime minister added. /Periscopi/
