The number of children born in Japan has become the lowest in 125 years.

It is necessary to have both life and death to run the universe. If children are not born, then the existence of a country or society will be eradicated after a while. A similar danger is now hovering over Japan. The same Japan, whose technique and science world consider iron. There are people who believe in Buddhism in Japan. People do not consider Islam as here. The majority population is Buddhist. Buddhism is associated with Hindus in the house of Hindus. It was here that Lord Buddha attained knowledge.

Yes, Japan is under threat of existence. If everything goes on like this, then only one child will be born in Japan in January 2720 after 695 years from today. This shocking figure has come when Japan has released its population data. It is revealed that the number of children born in Japan in 2024 has come down to a record low in the ninth consecutive year.

This news came two days after the report of South Korea, stating that the number of children born in the country in 2024 has increased for the first time in nine years. One reason behind this is the increase of weddings in those couples, which extended the date of marriage during the Kovid-19 epidemic. Demographic experts say that if Japan continues on this path, then there is a danger of the end of this country. Let’s take a look at the declining birth rate in Japan and its reasons.

Where are children in Japan?
The Ministry of Health of Japan released its population figures on Thursday. It was found that in 2024, only 7,20,988 children including foreign nationals have been born in the country. It is five percent less than 7,58,631 births in 2023. In comparison, if we talk about India, according to the country, 2,94,66,366 were born in India in 2024.

Japanese figures have further revealed that since the government started monitoring the figures in 1899, since then the birth rate has been the lowest. Now add the number of deaths in Japan to it, then it has become a big problem. In 2024, 16,18,684 deaths were recorded in the country, which is 1.8 percent higher than last year. This means that in Japan, children are getting less born and people are more dying.

Low children are born and more deaths, This is why the population has decreased. This has reduced the population of about 9,00,000 people, which is another record figure. This means that two people have died in proportion to every new born child.

Responding to this development, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba admitted that there has been no change in the trend of declining birth rate yet. He said, ‘We need to be aware of the fact that the declining birth rate has not yet been controlled. But the number of weddings has increased. Given the close relationship between weddings and the number of births, we should also pay attention to this aspect.

Population figures show that Japan’s population reached 128.1 million at its peak in 2008. However, since then it has declined by about fifty million people and this decline has continued. Estimates of the National Population and Social Security Research Institute have predicted that by 2048 the country’s population will be reduced to less than 100 million and 87 million in 2060. In other words, in a few more than half a century, one -third of the country’s population i.e. more than 40 million people will disappear.

Japan will become the first country to be extinct due to birth rate?
Hiroshi Yoshida, a population expert from Japan, Professor of Research Center for Edd Economy and Society of Tohoku University, has said that if Japan continues to see a decline in birth, then by 2720, there will be only one child under 14 years in the country by 2720. He says that in 695 years, the Japanese species will be erased. Yani 695 Japan’s existence will disappear. He was quoted as saying, ‘If the decline in birth rate does not stop, the’ clock ‘will be behind.’ He further said, ‘Japan can become the first country in the world due to low birthplace.’

What is the reason for decreasing birth rate in Japan?
There are many reasons for the decline in birth rate in Japan. Economists of Japan Research Institute, Takumi Fujinami points to low marriages in the country. There are only a few of every 100 children in Japan who are born outside the marriage. It is clear that there is a deep connection between marriage and birth.

Last year, the wedding rate in Japan increased by 2.2 percent and the figure reached 499,999. But this cannot hide the decline that was seen in 2020. In 2020, the wedding rate in the country decreased by 12.7 percent. Fujinami said, “Its effect can also be seen in 2025.”

But why don’t Japanese want to get married? Experts are describing the economic status and gender roles behind this. Many women in Japan say that men who do not have a confirmed job are not liked for marriage. Associate Professor Ekaterina Hartogue at the Oxford Internet Institute and Institute for Ethics in AI does research on the social impact of Japanese labor practices. He told Newsweek that in Japan, ‘traditionally earned from men’ is expected ‘. Due to this, low -earning men postpone marriage or leave it completely.

There is also a problem that women themselves get irregular jobs. In such a situation, it is very difficult for them to run a family. This is because in such jobs, working hours are uncertain and salary is less. As a result, many women decide not to start families.

Why do people not want to marry
Some experts believe that there is a shortage of good jobs in the Japanese market. Because of this, a class of men who do not marry and do not have children. This is because they and their potential partners know that they cannot afford the family’s expenses. There is also a culture to do a lot of work in Japan. Even more work is a Japanese word ‘Karoshi’ for death. Obviously, its effect is that couples produce fewer children.

Is Japan doing anything about its decreasing population?
For the last few years, Japanese officials are concerned about the declining population. In 2023, this is why the then Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida had to say that this is a ‘now or never’ situation. He had said, ‘Japan is standing on the verge where we have to decide whether we can work further as a society or not. Focusing on policies related to the upbringing of children and children is an issue that cannot be avoided.

What is the government doing
In Japan, the government is running a variety of programs to increase weddings and children. The Tokyo Metropolitan government has even launched a government dating app to promote marriage. The move also caught the attention of SpaceX, Tesla and X owner and billionaire Alan Musk. He said, ‘I am happy that the Government of Japan understands the importance of this matter. If no step is taken in time, then Japan (and many other countries) will end.

Government giving government subsidy for marriage
The government is also taking other steps to increase weddings. These include expanding child care facilities and giving housing subsidy. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has supported the child care policy package of 3.6 trillion yen. However, statistics show that these measures are not helping Japan. The country is now standing at the turn of do or die (exactly really).
