Japan’s Insane Plan To Survive

Japan has nine million empty homes, more than 100,000 people aged 100 or older, and fewer babies than at any time since records began in 1899. Last year, deaths outnumbered births by 918,000. To hold the country together, Japan is betting on six plans: paying families, bringing in foreign workers, keeping seniors on the job, building robots, pulling people out of Tokyo, and preparing for a smaller nation. #Japan #JapanPopulation #PopulationDecline #AgingPopulation #BirthRate #Demographics #JapanEconomy #LaborShortage #Akiya #Geopolitics #Geography #JapanExplained
