Japan's Urgent Measures to Address Population Decline by 2025

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

  • Japan is facing a significant demographic crisis with record low births and a rising number of deaths, leading to a population decrease for 15 consecutive years.
  • The population currently stands at about 125 million, but projections predict a drop to 87 million by 2070, with a majority being seniors aged 65 or older.
  • The government plans to invest 5.3 trillion yen (approximately $34 billion) in 2024 to support young families, which includes child allowances and enhanced childcare services.
  • To tackle work-life imbalance, Tokyo will introduce a four-day workweek for state employees starting April 2025, with options for parents to adjust working hours.
  • Japan is also loosening immigration policies to attract more foreign workers to combat labor shortages in sectors like elder care and agriculture.
