Japan’s population has been in decline since 2011 and currently stands at around 126 million. The country’s population is expected to decline by a further 20.7 million people by 2050, or around 16%, and if this current rate does not change the population is expected to fall to just 42 million by the end of the century. The reasons for this decline are low fertility rates (1.41 per woman, and only 1.09 in Tokyo) and minimal immigration, Japan also has one of the highest life expectancies in the world making the nation an ageing society and puts a lot of strain on the economy. What do you think about the decline of the Japanese population?
