TOKYO -- Married women in Tokyo give birth to more babies than the national average, but the city's total fertility rate has dropped to the lowest level among Japan's 47 prefectures. This decline is largely attributed to an increase in unmarried women relocating to the city for work and education.
Tokyo continues to attract unmarried women from other areas, bringing down the city's overall birth rate to the lowest in Japan.
