Japan has the most aged society in the world, with more than 35% of its population expected to be 65 and over by 2050, a trend that poses risks for economic growth and straining government finances.
Recently published official data showed the number of notified pregnancies in the three months to July fell 11.4% from a year earlier, while the number of marriages over the same period dropped 36.9%. The sharp decline in marriages matters because the majority of babies in Japan are born in wedlock. The pandemic has exacerbated a preexisting downward trend in the birthrate, which former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called a “national crisis.” The number of births in 2019 was down 5.8% to around 865,000, the lowest annual figure ever.
The International Monetary Fund has forecast global economic growth of 5.2% in 2021, but expects Japan’s growth to be 2.3%. Kumano said depopulation was the major factor in the differing outlooks.
Their stringent immigration policies put them in this situation. That factor combined with cultural stress internally has crippled their growth. They needed to open the doors and lower the stress decades ago.
Under the Liberal Democratic Party's administration, Japan is increasingly deteriorating its political economy. Japanese society loses rich human relationships due to political poverty.
Any country where the birth rate is low is doing the right thing - human populations are out of control
Japan needs huge numbers of immigrants. But its a most racist country in the world. It will vanished
Sadly too common in too many countries.
🙏🏻 Healing thoughts and prayers for the world.
