Even the special budget for the birth of children is not working. The country which is master in technology its population has been decreasing in this country for the last 15 years.
Japan, a country in East Asia, is known for its technology, but now a big problem has arisen for this country. Japan’s population is becoming a big problem for Japanese government. The population of Japan is decreasing day by day. Where on one hand the birth rate is decreasing, on the other hand the death rate is increasing.
India is a young country, with a population of about 130 crores. India has the largest population, after which China has highest population all over the world. While the Indian government is working to control its population, Japan having problems for decreasing population. The country in the world which is rapidly advancing in technology and has left even America behind, is facing the problem of population.
Nearly 7 lakh children were born in Japan in the year 2023, while 1.58 million deaths were also recorded in the country.
Difficulty in Japan’s growth pace
At present, every country is working to be at the forefront in the race of development and growth, due to this the people of Japan are focusing on work and job instead of having a family and avoiding having children. We are working in this direction, but due to this, the pace of Japan’s growth may slow down in the future. To solve this problem, the Japanese government also launched a special budget for couples to have children, but it was of no use.
Population decline for the 15th year
The population in Japan is once again decreasing, which is becoming a big challenge and difficulty for the country. On one hand the death rate of the country is increasing and on the other hand the birth rate is decreasing. The Government of Japan released a report on the country’s population on Wednesday, according to which, the total population of Japan has declined for the 15th consecutive year, due to the decreasing birth rate and increasing death rate in the country, more than five lakh people have lost their lives. There has been a decline.
Increase in the population of foreign citizens
The birth rate in Japan is decreasing year by year. This time a record decline was recorded in the birth rate. Last year 7 lakh children were born in Japan. Also, 1.58 million deaths were also recorded last year. The population of Japan on January 1 was 124.9 million. The report released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs shows that the population of foreign residents in the country has increased by 11%, due to which the country’s population has increased by more than 3 million for the first time. Foreign citizens in Japan now constitute about 3% of the total population and are mostly of working age between 15 and 64.
Youth avoid marriage, children, family
The survey has revealed that youth in Japan do not want to get married and even if they get married, they do not want to have children. In Japan, women are more inclined towards jobs and work, due to which children seem to be a responsibility for them. Women believe that after giving birth to children, they have to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother, due to which their attention gets reduced towards their work. Also, in the corporate culture, working mothers often find it difficult to get jobs, due to which women do not want to have children.
Government launches special budget
The way the birth rate is gradually declining and the death rate is increasing in Japan, this can become a big problem in the future. Japan’s youth population will decrease in the coming time. Sensing this difficulty, the Japanese government prepared a plan. The government put forward a scheme for the birth of children in the budget of 2024. The government launched a huge special budget to encourage young couples to have more children, the price of which has been set at $34 billion. Under this budget, subsidy for child care and education has been increased.
What will be the condition of population in 2070 ?
Experts say that the purpose of this special budget is to attract married couples to have children, as well as to motivate the youth to get married, so that the population of the country increases. Recently, an estimate on the population of Japan has also come out which tells what the population of Japan will be in the year 2070, this estimate has further increased the difficulties of Japan. Japan’s population is expected to decline by approximately 30% to 87 million by the year 2070, along with the projected population decline and the declining youth population will also become a problem for Japan. According to estimates, in the year 2070, four out of every 10 people in the country will be 65 years of age or older.
