In 2024, only 720,998 children were born in Japan, representing a 5% decline compared to the previous year and the lowest number since records began in 1899.
Despite government policies, the decline in the birth rate has already reached the estimated level of 15 years ago, leading to an estimate that Japan's population will decrease by 30% to 87 million by 2070, with 40% of the population being 65 years or older.
