In the 2020 Japanese census, there were more people 80-84 than there were children under the age of 5. Think about that. This is a cohort that was 0-4 in 1940. Not only were there more 0-4 in 1940 than in 2020, there are more 80-84 in 2020 than 0-4 in 2020. That's wild. I mean, several million of the 0-4's in 1940 are no longer around today. The ones who ARE still around STILL outnumber today's toddlers.
Japan land size is about 25~ thousand sq km smaller than the size of California. Yet, Japan has a population of 125 million while California has a population of 40 million. The problem is that once you get to a certain population, life turns into hell for a while for the younger population. Job market shrinks and everything becomes expensive. Essentially, there's no incentive in having a family.
hmm. Umm, the last time Japan had 50 million people, it was before World War One. Were they really all that healthy back then? Life expectancy certainly was alot lower.
Effects of population decline When young people move to bigger towns and cities, the average age of the population in the place they leave behind automatically goes up. A community with a higher proportion of older inhabitants may be less attractive to businesses, which may additionally have difficulty finding suitable staff locally. Other effects of population decline include: • fewer schools, due to there being fewer children; • a drop in house prices because more homes are unoccupied; • fewer new homes being built; less demand for rented accommodation; • fewer care facilities; less turnover for shopkeepers and businesses; • fewer sports facilities; • fewer people going to the theatre, cinema or concerts, so these facilities are eventually cut back; • fewer people travelling by public transport, which thus costlier to run; local residents have to travel further to reach the facilities they want
The content of this presentation is very interesting, but the speaker needs to level out his voice level. He start off each sentence very loud and then drops down to very low. So I'm constantly adjusting the volume. Super frustrating to listen to.

It is not just about land area, the culture and economy make a huge influence.
The only arguments against decreasing population are economic. Every environmental factor favors it.
So, you support Gates depopulation program 👹
That's good news, Japan used to be having 50M population and healthy.
50 million with higher older population. That's very very bad.
@@malik250988 nah

he should have restated the questions so the video audience can hear. the questions were mostly unintelligible for those of us watching via video.

A shrinking population is a very good thing for the whole world.
It's too expensive to have children, it's not going to get better
Mgtow will dominate the world.

I dont see why we need a solution to falling population. Falling population IS the solution.
We need a gentle decline as opposed to a free fall.
Tell Africa and others from Asia first. It's unfair to have 1.2 children and others +5.6 and actually living in extreme poverty.
The issue is that there will be no young workforce/tax base to fund elderly care.
@@eduzz4655 when they get rich they will have the same issue. A lot move to richer nations for a better life
@@eduzz4655which African country is going to listen to you😄
Very well. There are way too many people in the world, by perhaps a factor of 100.
Life expectancy will decrease in Japan soon.
Do you have any statistics to support your argument 😇
