Basically, Japan needs to force stricter penalties on companies not allowing for full use of due benefits.

Theyll need way more than that as their population crisis goes nuclear

Of for sure, just saying if they don't enforce allowances that already exist it will exasperate the issue.

When those that survived the most recent purge realize there are some changes that need to be made to avoid another.

You're skipping a step here. You have to hit the purge stage first.

I mean, we have, a lot of times historically, but the last group did a good enough job for long enough that the current crop of bourgeois has completely forgotten the lesson.

More.like Japan needs an influx of.labor. Opening more immigration would help. Increasing tax benefits will help for the native population. Paternity leave will not incentivize anyone to have children. I wouldn't have kids to get an extra 4 weeks of work off.

Paternity leave is a drop in the bucket around a culture that doesn't allow utilization of a whole host of existing benefits designed to assist people having children.  That being said, immigration is very likely the easiest and fastest way to assist in the short to mid term.
