More Than 900,000 People Lost In a Year! Japan's Population Crisis Intensifies
The number of elderly people in Japan is increasing rapidly due to the continuous decline in the birth rate
The low birth rate in Japan has become a serious problem, which experts have warned could have long-term negative effects on the country’s economy and social structure.
Due to the continuous decline in the birth rate, the number of elderly people in Japan is increasing rapidly, which is a challenge for both national security and economic development.
According to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs, the population decreased by more than 910,000 people in 2024 alone, the largest decline in the country’s history.
According to statistics, about 30% of Japan’s population is already over 65 years old, which is of serious concern to policymakers and researchers.
The government is considering various plans to increase the birth rate, including work-life balance, childcare, and better housing facilities.
Experts say that Japan can also overcome this crisis with measures like South Korea.
