That's exactely what I thought: they would rather finance full time reproducers (like in Black and White 2 XD) or even clonage rather that large scale immigration^^. In the last ressort...well 30% less, 70 remain. But some changes are needed: I'm always frustrated to see my country nearly inactive 8 hours a day and two days a week, however it's true that asking employees to work their s*it out 12 hours a day, or working at night time without any necessity is very counter productive for demography. "Yeah I finish my service every day at 2AM", "Wow, you are a security at a night club ?", "no I'm a moder at Nintendo", your employees being so tired that they sleep in trains and even at work doesn't mean they are serious or productive, it means that they are mentally oppress (so the exact opposite). So yeah, one of the most capitalist country in the world, will have to begin to think social or else being prepare for radical solutions.

Japan definitely needs a more social and family-friendly policy.

@D. San Yeah, they were pretty confident, or at least as confident as one could be as a University student. In general, they seemed to have a sense of pride in making that decision. From my experience, while both financial matters and what they perceived to be the expectations of women were a consideration, most of them simply expressed a desire to be free of what they believed to be the constraints, responsibilities, and expectations of being a father, husband, and worker in Japanese society. There was more than anything an emphasis on the desire to do whatever they wanted whenever or however they wanted. Focusing on hobbies and friends were important. I never went further than that as it felt inappropriate to do so. To be clear, these were average people who seemed to have sufficiently developed social skills. Apparently, they just don’t want to be bogged down. I also think that a desire to be different from their parents and grandparents generations had an effect, but I never asked.

I would say biology/instinct also plays a part. Species that have massive infant fatality rates will have high fertility so at least a few will manage to survive. As you get richer and more comfortable the instinctive drive too reproduce will be lower than somewhere poorer or with higher risks due likely to this instinct as well. So countries that are less stable and poorer may have a greater reproduction due to the subconscious threat to life so the population will have more children so if some die there will be some that survive. But this would not be a conscious decision as people likely don't actually plan on having 4-5 children just in case half of them die, hence I am strongly suggesting it is more biological/instinctual rather than rational.

What an idiotic statement. Less people is not bad is an elitist propaganda. Demographic has a balance and because those propaganda the balance has been disturbed.

To everyone posting about the work hours: most people I know in Japan don't work insane hours anymore, that was like 10-20 years ago. However, many people who work in the city do end up spending close to 2 hours commuting if they choose to live in more affordable suburbs or fringe countryside areas. The bigger issue is that salaries for young people entering the workforce is quite low and if you live in the city, it's barely enough to pay for a large apartment + family expenses. So the choice for young people is struggle at borderline poverty while raising kids, or live single/childless and use the extra money to enjoy life. It's more or less the same in the countryside because rent is cheaper but so is the average salary. Mass immigration wouldn't fix the problem either because they're either going to face the same financial issues or irresponsibly have children that they can't support. I think the only way the government can encourage more people to start families is if there are significant tax breaks / financial support to those with children. This is hard to finance though when you already have massive debt and a shrinking workforce/taxpayer base, compounded with natural disasters and a failed Olympics... TL;DR: I don't think we'll go extinct immediately lol, but children are increasingly going to be a luxury for older middle class people

Easy answer, no Japan won't go extinct. It would need for every single Japanese person to no longer have kids, and kids still get born, just not at self replenishment rates, the Japanese will eventually change just because that is the nature of things when a crisis reaches a breaking point. Will Japan loose money and GDP in the future most likely their economy will suffer heavily from a reduction in working people and tax payers, mainly the elderly generations will suffer most, and they will have to either work into their older years or simply endure it. But the Japanese are likely to bounce back at some point in the future, with a reduction of elderly people in the country it is more likely for important positions to be filled by younger people with different mentalities, there will be a great loss of traditional arts, and other professions that were mainly carried into the modern day due to families that carried on their own traditions but larger traiditional arts wil be preserved just due to a large enough amount of people being able to teach them to the younger generations.

I admire your curiosity, and hope your [implied] optimism is warranted. I am 66. I am curious, very curious, about the future, but I am also VERY glad I am not young. I think the younger generations, and perhaps even my own, are going to experience catastrophe on a scale not seen by humanity since the Black Death devastated the Old World. It may come by war, by pandemic, by sudden climate change/drought/famine, by AI, by solar flare/grid failure, by sudden economic collapse...or the slow motion collapse of population decline in the developed world. But I suspect it is coming. Good luck! Truly. I do think a better future is on the other side of the collapse I suspect is coming. But it's likely to take generations to reach it.

The problems are simple. Too much work, too little leisure time. Men are happy to 'take care' of themselves downstairs while watching anime, rather than finding a woman. Too much societal pressure to get married and have children. Men and women are increasingly taught to distrust, and even hate each other, rather than see each other as partners. Men think women have unrealistic financial expectations, while women's expectations are constantly being raised by social media. Women don't really need men any more for financial support, and can have careers of their own, which leads into the next problem: delaying child birth until it's often too late to have a child. The cost of having children is enormous, and only getting worse. The solution? There is none. It requires radical change on a society based level.

As a native Japanese, I will never understand westerners obsession with Japan’s birth rates. Also suicides in Japan as well. Both of these topics are something that gets picked up alot on western medias. I look up Japan’s birth rates and suicide rates and compare it with other countries and honestly, theres a quite number of countries out there that are doing far worse. Seriously, does anyone know why specifically Japan became the poster child for these two topics? Im not saying this out of national pride or anything, Im just genuinely curious since there are alot of other countries that have far lower birth rates and higher suicides than Japan. It would be interesting if someone from a western country could explain.

@@plveuk813 the thing is, america is a baby nation that's only like 300 years old. There was no culture so immigrants could easily fit in without disrupting social cohesion or changing the culture. That's a luxury not afforded to older nations. Japan for example, we have our own distinct culture developed over centuries, especially during the edo period when sakoku was in effect and we didn't interact with other nations. That was a time of great cultural prosperity. Immigrants have their own culture from their home countries and over time if enough of them come here, it could threaten to overtake our culture. America as we know it is a blank slate because it's comprised of immigrants so there is no dominant national culture. But before the first Europeans arrived, america did have culture.

There never was a real risk of overpopulation. We can produce enough food to sustain several times the global population we have now. Depopulation however is a real problem, something we’ll all deal with as more and more countries follow Japan’s trajectory. Individuals need to recognize the beauty and social responsibility of stable relationships and families with kids and policy needs to ensure proper protections and incentives for people to be able to have families and children.

Japan with only 20 million would be an interesting prospect. Japan will survive and might actually be an interesting place to visit. Instinct is a little alarmist. It would be a huge mistake to increase immigration just to stabilize population decline. Japan should continue its current policy and address how to address problems that occur with aging populations. Plan on shutting towns and converting them agricultural use or revert to nature. May allow Japan to become agriculturally independent in the future.

Virtually all other problems including: climate change, political unrest, destruction of the oceans, the current pandemic etc., follow directly from, or are exacerbated by ... this. Perhaps we should see Japan as a shining example of what we all need to do, for the sake of our very survival. What we ought to do now, is find ways to continue this trend, universally and as painlessly as possible.

As a Japanese, I strongly feel that we should not be afraid of losing people. Other European countries have much less population (e.g, Germany or UK), but they are doing fine. Some European countries have very high GDP per capita and their citizens are well off despite a much smaller population than Japan. As such, less population does not mean the country would decline. We may not stay as the third-largest economy in the world as the population declines, but it is GDP per capita instead of GDP that we should be paying close attention to. We need to focus on technologies and AI to increase productivity. That is the key to Japan's survival. AI is particularly beneficial to Japan as Japan does not need to worry about AI taking away jobs from young workers. If other smaller countries can achieve higher GDP per capita, Japan should be able to achieve that too.

It's societal problems creating this situation on people.

Sounds like the state should have more support for rural areas. That might help combat depopulation by supporting the less crowded areas with population growth.

oh, no yellow teeth

South Korea has one of the highest population density and longest work hours per year. Seoul is 3 times more crowed than Tokyo and 8 times of New York. No wonder so low fertility rate. And it is good thing for overcrowded SK. SK is as big as Iceland but but has 160 times population, or little bigger than Hokkaido, Japan but has 10 times population. More than that, Korean Peninsular is mountainous land with very little arable flat land like Swiss (Area: 1/3 of SK, pop.: 8.5M 1/6 of SK). It is unsustainable situation. SK can hardly survive to next century without serious population reduction like shedding half of its current 50 millions.

I can confirm... how can you make a baby when the walls are so thin in a country where face is everything? or have to go to an expensive motel to do your intimate business... but for the second part I totally disagree. Most parts of South Korea is completely deserted and could be inhabited by people giving space for citizens to live and breathe. Cities like Daejeon or Daegu are large and not so crowded.

in the 70's Declining population would've been seen as good thing, mostly the way the economy is structured needs to be changed rather than changing the people itself or having population replacement, I mean immigration does not increase the number of Japanese people anyway, it might increase people with Japanese citizenship and mixed people, but this bring new problems, like identity politics, you see it everywhere where one group tries to one up the other, I think once the population reaches a certain value, the economics would have no choice but to adapt to the demographics rather than the demography having to adapt to the economy, who knows what will happen.

In any case, he is not left.

Korea and Japan have to start paying couples to have kids, provide paid mandatory child leave and offer free day care so the women can stay in the work force. The more kids they have, the more they get paid, It's not rocket science. Immigration in the amounts needed to turn things around will be difficult for both SK and Japan due the culture and probably a tough sell politically.
