The Death Of A Nation: Japanese Births Drop To Lowest Ever, Deaths Hit All Time High
Supporters and opponents of Abenomics may debate the metaphorical death of Japanese society as a result of the terminal hyper-Keynesian, hyper-monetarist policies implemented by Abe and Kuroda for the past 2 years until they are blue in the face, but when it comes to the literal death of Japan, there is no debate: as the FT succinctly puts it "deaths outnumbered births in Japan last year by the widest margin on
record, underscoring the scale of the challenge facing the government as
it tries to ensure a dwindling pool of workers can support growing
ranks of pensioners."
Indeed, while Japan may or may not surive the collapse in the Yen, which will send the Nikkei225 soaring although nobody will be able to enjoy this unprecedented paper wealth because nobody can afford to eat, drive or heat their house, and all Japanese companies will be long bankrupt, it now looks almost certain that the death of Japanese society will not be due to a runaway printer, but due to, well, death itself.
As the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare reported earlier this week, while Japan recorded 1.001 million births in 2014, or the lowest number in recorded history, this was offset by 1.27 million deaths: also the highest on record.
It's only downhill from here. More from the FT:
[T]he broader demographic problems remain. Last weekend, as the government fulfilled an election pledge to present an extra spending package, it outlined plans to arrest population falls outside the major cities, challenging local authorities to boost births via support to women aged 20 to 39, the group most critical to rebuilding the population.
If the current nationwide fertility rate of 1.4 stays unchanged, a task force warned in November, then Japan’s population of 127m would drop by almost a third by 2060 and by two-thirds by 2110.
Even if the fertility rate were to rapidly rise to the replacement level of 2.07 by 2030 and then stay there, the population would keep falling for another 50 years before stabilising at a little less than 100m.
Relaxing the nation’s relatively strict controls on immigration could provide some relief, but Mr Abe has made it clear that he is “flatly opposed to opening the door”, said Masatoshi Kikuchi, a strategist at Mizuho Securities in Tokyo.
Not surprisingly, the finance ministry declined to comment on the reported figures, ahead of the release of the draft budget around the middle of January.
Because what is there to comment? The data says it all.
And whatever you do, don't use the Birinyni extrapolation ruler here.

Now substract immigration, and you have the same chart for Europe
I guess it comes down to a simple choice really. Get busy fucking or get busy dying.
You will have to fuck without protection for that to work so you may still end up busy dying, or worse, wish you were dead.
Nothing some good old fashioned immigration from Africa couldn't fix in nine months...
But Japan wants to reduce their population cause they know there's no need for so much labor there anymore.
And so reduce population to avoid a growing under-class of thugs like we bred here!
Japan is a petri dish and the Japanese are smart, at some point you cant squeeze more than 110 million people on an island, we should be realizing the same about earth. If we didnt allow immigration the other parts of the world would take care of themselves also.
fortunately, however: robots!
This is what Fukushima does to the demographics.
The Japanese know exactly what they are doing and where this leads. They are preserving their culture and are willing to pay the price.
Are their iPads edible?
So we should ban the sex dolls or not?
The irony is priceless - in order to keep the ponzi of infinite growth on track, we have to keep expanding the population, but as the population expands we use up resources that much faster, exploding the ponzi in a massive die-off. Hey, it happens in nature all the time. We don't have a resource problem. We have a population problem. But nobody wants to openly discuss the need for population control, because that is a fundamental violation of the mindset that we all should be free to have as many offspring as we want. If you want to address the problems of infinite growth, you have to deal with birth control. Of course, in a world where we are all 'equal', a dumbed down, ignorant troglodyte with no ambition and no capacity for critical thought has as much right to have 10 kids as a bright, intelligent, motivated, well educated person.
Reminds me of the Texan in Catch-22, who said that "good people" should get two votes in an election, instead of just one, as opposed to tramps, whores, and drifters. Maybe I'll run for congress. My slogan can be 'We have to cull the herd!'
You have captured the core/foundation issue behind almost every significant problem that we have. And you have identified why we will not be able to engage with this problem until our level of desperation is so great that our slimy facade of political correctness is stripped away.
The fact that you have already accumulated negative ratings shows how not-ready the sheep are to discuss our real problems.
Not only are the Japanese smart [like most Asians] their women are Hot ! It's ironic to have some of the so many of the beautiful women in the world, yet have a near zero brith rate.
I hope they discover the beneifts of immigrating ot the USA...we can use some balance in our immigrant mix.
I totally agree with you, as an European I find Japanese girls incredibly hot and yet this is the nation that has one of the highest sales figures for sex dolls and is contemplating sex robots. Go figure!
The women have no desire to be tieed down to men who demand subservient women - especially when they're at work all the time - coming home too damn drunk to do anything OR unemployed. Some of them are more than willing to charge (a VERY nice price) for their companionship but they sure don't want anything long term without appropriate compensation.
End result - a LOT of porn and life size sex dolls taking the place of real women. There's a reason they're working so hard on the sex robots.
What's up with this feminist nonsense ? Look like the Huff post !
Working women and women liberation is the problem of the low birthrate in developed countries, no amount "of supporting" women will bringing up the rate up (and sanity) in our countries.
The USA's "women right" feminism is what who destroy Japan right now.
What a blue piller here.
Too many Japanese young men would rather play a video game than engage in the courting process
http://www.infowars.com/sexodus-why-are-young-men-giving-up-on-women/
I guess if you like adolescent surfboards, irrespective of gender, then Japan is the place for you. I lived in Japan for six years while growing up. The genders there could not be more disconnected. Males never grow out of adolescence, and their heritage of hyper-mixogyny only exacerbates their disconnect. The women have no desire to be a house-slave to a boy, so choose not to be. The genders are little more than a curiousity to eachother. That people can barely afford to live in that country doesn't encourage family creation or marriage either. The main problem is cultural though. Japanese culture never adjusted to women no longer being cattel.
Well, catering to women is worst thing to do, the women jumped in the feminism band wagon (women right and vote), that evil Western invention polluted to whole Japanese society.
Japan should remove that insanity ASAP via huge reforms and repealing Western "culture".
Ah, a person that makes sense; and, of course, you will attacked by the brainwashed who repeat the CNBC and related shills mantra that we "must have GDP growth at all costs, must have GDP growth at all costs ..." Japan imports over half its calories, has little in the way of natural resources, etc. etcetera. If they want a smaller poulation then they should have a smaller population. If they want to maximize per capita real income then let them. Just because we are being genocided with the shrill mantra of moar nominal GDP at all and any cost, doesn't mean the Japanese have to be slated for oblivion and replacement by parasites from some third world hellhole so that they can make Japan a third world hellhole.
Japan also forbids Muslim immigration. They are nationalists who want to preserve their culture.
.
Spoken like a true "Aryan" female.
Not enough "sake to me" by the carbon life forms...
Do the babies with two heads count as one child or two? That might have a significant impact on the statistics.
Hey doomers. I think you should revisit this graph.
The whole replacement rate argument is just to prop up a totally unsustainable growth model. These doomers are ignorant of something called a logistical function. We can't have growth forever on a finite planet with finite sources, so we need to plan ahead for the saturation level.
This "death of a nation" claim is actually too little too late. In the 1970s the world population was 3.3 billion, now in 2015 it is over 7 billion. The increase in the last 40 years has been greater than the actual base populaion of that time. Yet doomers are claiming that humanity is dying and society is collapsing. I just can not believe the absurdity of these claims. In the old days the fertility was higher but childbirth caused many deaths, and most children never survived to adulthood due to illnesses. Nowadays with landfills, water treatment, handwashing, and basic medical care even the worse off of children are making it to adulthood.
I don't buy into this cornucopian Vatican propaganda of pumping out babies for the sake of it. Family planning allows people more options. And I'm sure I'll get downvotes from hypocrites who premaritally banged their girlfriends with condoms on, but whatever makes you guys happy, go for it. No point in having a debate, just have a reactionary knee jerk.
I'm sure the world would be a nicer place with fewer sheeple.
Here's some funny satire "a modest proposal" by Bill Maher http://youtu.be/nqMSPooXJIk
FWIW, I agree. The math doesn't make sense. They say each couple needs to have 1.7 kids or whatever, but then they live to be 80+. You have three cycles per lifespan. This goes logarithmic quickly.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
You need 2.1 to maintain the population level (with zero immigration policy).
Doctor, You are of course right. Maybe Japanese Crony Capitalism and fiscal socialism will suffer under a decling overall population. But will Japan die? No, of curse not. Japan existed for thousands of years at a much lower population level than today's. This is fact. There will be some pain as the country adjusts to living with maybe 6o million instead of 100+ million. How can this be bad, except for ponzi finance?
Overall, there will be more demand for labor. More open agricutural space with less demand on it, farmers would prosper. Cities would bulldoze the useless apartment complexes and plant parks. No reason at all for the economy not to become better. More of everything for everybody.
You are 100% right, the stupid growth forever model, based on never ending population growth is a dead end. And capitalism, the unseen hand, will go to work and adapt and adjust and that is WHY we have capitalism. If the financial Pozi dies, then the sooner the better. It should give the world hope that somebody is prepared to end the stupidity of unending population growth on these mountainous tiny islands. Imagine in 100 years, Japan, a land of green open spaces, cities with rook for houses. Agriculture propering on the green open lands.
Fuck, sounds like this is the right path! No?
check amount of ppl in the most famous crossroad in tokyo.... they have a huge amount of ppl to die before having problem... nothing serious here.

i call this OVERPOPULATION
It's bad for those from whom governments and forced pension plans stole from them their whole lives with promises of a good retirement. That's a big ponzi right there. Under socialism, you don't just run out of other people's money. You run out of other people too.
Population explosion happened in part due to scientific advances, but it was also a part of conscious industrial strategy. More people meant more workers and that meant winners. A country with more people competed better than a country with fewer people. They had easier time infiltrating and assimilating other nations. In war times they had more volunteers eager to die, protecting property of their local oligarchs... but all that was prior to full mechanization and establishment of information technology.
The neo-industrial society has the same formula in reverse. With machines doing absolutely everything, including the killing, the new winning formula is having fewer mouths to feed. Japan is ahead of most nations in an industrial sense, so they're also ahead of the world demographically. They are doing what is logical, be that with or without excessive corruption, and limited landmass has nothing to do with it. In a fully automated world you don't need people.
People used to fuck to produce helping hands, or at least hoping to have someone late in life to take care of them. Nowdays most people know their kids won't do squat for them. Old folks will be sent to a retirement home to rot away, while gobbling up buckets of meds. Early in life the kids will provide nothing but expectations. They won't do anything but make your life miserable, so why have'em? Want to talk to someone? There's the net. Want someone to help? There's gadgets and robots. Want to send people to war? Click a few buttens and send a drone over. No need for people. No need for kids. At an individual level the need for having family and kids disappears. At the governing level, the fear of rebellion, growing proportionally to the level of corruption, will also ensure growth of counter-reproductive policies. Fewer people means fewer angry people, and when it comes to accumulating riches - human hands aren't good for that either anymore. A machine will make a man rich faster than another man. An algo trader will skim the market faster than a human analyst. An ATM will conveniently dispense the cash. No need for humans anywhere. No need for life.
lol... cray cray (but i tend to agree)
Uh, sure disinformation agent.
How about this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_population_growth_rate_1950%E2%...
Doesn't look scary to me...
Did you not notice that the growth rate in the Wikipedia chart that you supplied a link to is still positive in 2050 and beyond? That means that even though the growth rate is slowing, the world population will still grow by more than 2 billion people by 2050 at projected rates. It's called "the magic of compounding". That's what makes it scary.
Did you notice the the growth rate is decreasing since 1970?
Exponential functions (a/k/a compounding) never do that.
The Doctor's diagnosis is on point.
NEGATIVE: I can tell you that Japanese and most all asian women are scared of black men , they know how large they can be and they consider them to be dirty and less loving towards their women than white men... To a Japanese woman white men are the ideal ,, I made the mistake of not bringing enough condoms from the states and had to buy local ... the japanese brands in their "normal" size fit like finger cots..

Maybe, just maybe, you have a soft dick if any condom size feels too tight.
Lots of beautiful girls in Japan when I lived there. Those Japanese boys must really like their Playstations.
Lots of radiation - maybe shootin blanks

Video games are way cheaper.
Better, now, too.
"For much of this decade, the older men who drove this country to the top of the economic league tables have looked on in bewilderment at the foppish antics of the generation below.
Japan's twenty- and thirtysomething males seem disinterested in careers and apathetic about the rituals of dating, sex and marriage. They spend almost as much on cosmetics and clothes as women, live with their mums and sit down on the toilet when they pee. Some have even been known to wear bras. "What is happening to the nation's manhood?" wonders social critic Takuro Morinaga."
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/japans-generation-xx-170415...
Actually, this male grooming thing is very very popular in SK and China also. Girls expect light skin, at least you own one house/apartment and have a very decent job. They are super turned off by what merikan girls think of as sexy such as men with all the muscles.
I'm sure it has something to do with good planning or picking the right man, since the more effeminate men, in general, are much wealthier then the bulked up peasant looking ones. Asian girls are much more practical then most merikan girls; less dazzled by looks but very impressed by your pocket book and job.
That's why I stopped working out so much at the gym.
It's more a function of the economy ,, they don't want to give it up unless you're successful enough to marry ,,, they can be a dropout loser selling fast food fish and noodles and living with her parents but they all want Bill Gates.
Out of curiosity, what does the US's graph, less immigration, look like?
Well that's what blacks on welfare are for... making a shitload of babies.
In other news, illegal immigration is down massively due to the US economy crashing. And once it's goes 110% crash, the number of people leaving + the number of people having babies dropping by a lot, it'll be worse than Japan.
It's good for Walmart, Nike, and the prison industry

Death of a nation?
Japan is overpopulated and no nation has ever ceased to exist because of a natural rebalancing.
The death of nations come by mass immigration of invaders...
And contrary to other nations, the Japanes do not commit this mistake. So the chances are extremely high, that in 1000 years Japan will be Japanese. But the White race will be gone, if it continues it's insanity of self hatred, self destruction and following the ZOG's plan of White genocide.
Japan is not overpopulated. Tokyo is overpopulated. Osaka is overpopulated. Japan is so empty you hear an echo.
That's relative. When you think Russia and Japan have about the same population, then look at the respective sizes...
Because half of Russia (Siberia) is just a lovely place to live.
Japan: 336/km²
USA: 32/km²
" Japan is so empty you hear an echo."
It seems your head is producing the echoes...
I love you. Bursted out laughing, snoted on the keyboard....great!
Japan is the same size as California with 3 times the population. Parts of California are empty, but who's going to live in Death Valley? If a country can't feed itself, then it's likely overpopulated.
Believe it or not, there are quite a few people living in Death Valley...most are injuns, but there still a couple groups of families in and around the area.
California is about the same size as Oregon (4 million people) and Washington (7 million) put together. So Japan--127 million, Oregon/Washington--11 million. Guess I will have to stop complaining about the traffic around here.
"The death of nations come by mass immigration of invaders..."
This is the whole point. Even if the Japanese population fell by 50% it's still the Japanese population and can regenerate itself over time. On the other hand mass immigration of incompatible foreigners of different race, religion and heritage results in the 'host' population being changed in the most fundamental and irretrievable way.
Which of course is the whole point of the exercise.
Make sure no one tells them that its the Americans behind their economic troubles, I really don't want to wake up to giant robots on my doorstep.
That's for damned sure!
Hey the central banks will fix it, they can fix anything.......
$200 tax credit for all Japanese women over the age of 70 getting knocked up;
Problem solved.
Or just print moar Japanese!
Easy to fix. Just do what they do in Europe, to offset its aging population: Import Muzzies from MENA.
Guaranteed to breed like goats or rabbits. And if they're in Germany, their multiple wives can collect Welfare and Childcare, for being "Abandoned" by their husband -- given that the German bureaucrats don't keep track of multiple Muslim marriages (with a different wife in different County or State).
This is symptomatic of all Parallel Societies (foreign society within a National Society), that refuses to integrate and cherry-picks it advantages, but still complains about "discrimination". This phenomenon occurs throughout Europe and N. Am, and has been going on for many decades. It is the sheer kindness and gullibility (willful stupidity) of the host country that this goes on. Even or especially in the US. In spite of the official MSM meme, the US is not so much of a Melting Pot, as it is a Buffet/Smorgasbord.
BTW, how do you ululate in Japanese? (sarc)
If you import 3rd world populace you become a third world country. Just look at Paris, London, Berlin. Nothing there works anymore. Labor ethics is already 2nd world and sinking rapidly.
A Chinese proverb says: a cat that gives birth at a fishmonger's doesn't have fishes.
But Marxism declares exactly that: a negro born in France is no longer an African but a European frenchman. Stalin's preferred biologist, Lyssenko, summed up the mental sickness of Marxism very nicely: "Human DNA are useless artifacts."
The genes are nothing, everything is the environment.
As a result of this mental illness, the establishment in the West follows the believe, that it's a matter of money, to have a well educated 1st world youth.
The truth is: you can throw billions at people with an IQ below 90 or even 80, and they will never ever become 1st world.
The 1% LOVES this incredible stupidity. It's the weapon of choice to dumb down of the masses. Because the less the intelligent middle class knows about the facts of it's outperformance, that i.e. intelligence is highly inheritable, the quicker it will interbreed with less intelligent partners, while the 1% rigorously selects their partners by looking at the DNA and family tree.
And the next step of progress for the intelligent ones is, that they make use of the importance of the DNA: genetic screening for their partners and for their children before they are born (Eugenics is good - but only for us!), while their mass media are promoting interbreed - best with sub-saharan negroes with an IQ below 80. Or claims that people should be glad about handicapped children. Sick or healthy, doesn't matter! (For you, dumb sheeple...)
But ofcourse mentioning that fact is "racist" - and therefore "evil". But promoting the destruction of the European culture by spreading absurd lies about equality, is not evil...
And ofcourse to be against interbreeding can only be accetped for Jews...
The Japanese so far have not been infected by this mental illness and reject mass immigration - which is the best guarantee to secure their future. Their debt problem could be solved with one signature. But they have intelligent DNA, are disciplined and laborious. Such a people can build up a world out of ruins in no time. They are productive and soon autonomous robots will be a big help for their elderly, while in the West our old White people without children will receive the love and treatment from the imported 3rd world slaves, which are claimed to be the future of the knowledge society...
The Japanese way is the way of a people that doesn't hate it's own culture and people, but preserves it, while the nations under the evil leadership of USrael are dragged down into the multicultural "paradise" of the eternal war within their own societies.
Culture follows biology.
Ironic. Personally, I thought white people were too stupid and ugly to procreate with, so I went for an Asian woman. Now my kids are smart and good looking.
Are you a beaner?
No, a Scot.
They should try open borders. Works great for us.
On an only slightly more serious note than my other post, above, why not pay for women to have babies? I mean, if you're going to be a bunch of money printing Keynesian manics, go all the way with it.
Yeah but getting fucked by squids doesn't make you pregnant... Or maybe it's the hair down there that puts em off.
Do what all white countries (apart from Israel) do. Import millions and millions of vibrant Africans and Muslims. Problem solved.
We can send them some of our Mexican illegals. I bet they'd enjoy working as landscapers in Japanese gardens.
There are also lots of Phillipino's and Vietnamese to be exported, as well.
Si.
Now I have to go watch some old episodes of Fawlty Towers but imagine John Cleese with a Japanese accent.
"Do what all white countries (apart from Israel) do. Import millions and millions of vibrant Africans and Muslims. Problem solved."
Israel has a big problem with illegal immigration of black Africans, too.
But, but, but... Ahh fuck it...
I have a solution : uncensor porn!
In other news, Japan has a nation is done for the next few decades if not centuries.
I agree removing the mosaic could be a great stimulus. It is a shame the top porno terrorists of the world have to censor their work like that.
Dying ain't much of a living boy.

You can't blame us its that damn group that blew up Fukushima
Our sperm is dead from the radiation
And whatever we have left we use up in their Bukkake films
When we're all dead you'll realize their aim to kill all of us, including most of you, wasn't a conspiracy theory. But by then it will be too late
So Japanese women don't like having sex with broke ass Japanese men?
Warning: QE kills
How about QE times a million!
People don't have children to support your GDP. They have children because they have faith in the future. No faith, no kids.
And when a species has over-populated, nature takes steps, like decreased fertility rates, that NO government interventions can affect.
When you have both situations, you get Japan.
No Abe you sick fuck, you aren't going to BREED your country out of this mess, so just forget about it.
I would have to say that Abe is doing a terrific job at fucking Japan though.
Lol!
Is the technology there yet for mass cloning? They can simply replace the people who die with clones. The clones will be raised in government indoctrination centers so the Japanese won't have to bother with parenting anymore and the men can continue to play video games and watch porn while the women and shop all day.
Like anything else, humans don't breed well in captivity
Come on Japs, get to making some more slant eyes, its' for the good of everyone!
Just send me there, I'll impregnate all of em!
Bullshit. A new Yen is born every nanosecond.
Time to bring in the Muzzies.
Their worldwide birthrate stands at 3.8
I thought it was much higher than that.
Iran is shrinking.
Might have to do with mothers not appreciating much that the mullahs sent previous teens into Saddam's poison gas without masks...
Solution: start a civil war. North Japan vs South Japan. Winner take all!
I forgot what the problem was.
smart people stopped breeding. that is going to be a problem at some point.
Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a TV
Put me in the hospital for nerves
And then they had to commit me
You told them all I was crazy
They cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee, God damn you

Very true. Most successful and educated people have 0-3 children.
The ones on welfare have 4-20 children.
Civilization is doomed.
Why the down vote? The responsible people who choose to live within their means are forced to pay for the breeders who can't afford their broods. The government is responsible for this and will be the ones responsible for the overpopulation of the earth. The government is always harping about our limitied resources and using less, yet they pay for the breeding of those who shouldn't be having any children. If you can't support yourself, you can't support MORE CHILDREN. PERIOD. They insist on teaching Darwin in schools, yet violate it in their actions.
When every kid is an extra bump in the paycheck: you get breeders.
Close:
When gov't decides it is good politics to remove consequences from people's actions and decisions, they get... a lot of happy voters.
"Unintended" consequences I hear you ask? I repeat there are no consequences anymore! ... until some day there are, that is.
No it is not. Man dominated this planet for quite a long, it's time to go.
You first. Set an example.
If they can somehow work this out with the economy, they can look forward to finally getting a seat on the train in Tokyo during rush hour.
Maybe Japan should import tens of millions of central Africans to boost their...wait, what exactly WOULD that boost?
Violent Crime, AIDS, and High School Dropout rates.
I can see.
Just send over the hot girls in their school uniforms and I'll boost the birth rate all by myself.
I would be more than happy to head on over there and start breeding some of them.
Perhaps its time for Rance to pay JAPAN another visit...
Those Japanese women that are getting pregnant are most likely experiencing increasing levels of birth deformities and still births. Of course, with the government mandated media blackout in Japan regarding such 'hot' topics, who can tell? Fukushima is still spreading her poisons. Sad situation.
"most likely experiencing"
In other words you're just making shit up.
Yep...just making stuff up.

Japan will be ok as long as they don't allow immigrants to destroy their ethnicity and culture.
Following the imminent economic collapse of Japan, with millions unemployed and living in poverty, the people will have little else to enjoy in life except sex! That's why the birth rate here in the Philippines has been a major problem for many years. For example: The 2007 census showed a population of 88 million. Today it is estimated to be more than 95 million. Although many foreign men retire here there are very few foreign women ex-pats so the birth rate is entirely down to filipina women. My guess is there will be a baby boom coming to Japan in the next ten years.
Fukushima will take care of any Japanese population problems. Seems to be doing a fine job on all those pesky Orcas, too.
Dolphins, whales, tuna, and pretty much any sea creature on the verge of extinction is rejoicing at this news. Japanese rape the ocean like it's a full time job.
Japan is a dead country.
Thanks US Federal Reserve for directing Japan into the Keynesian meat grinder.
Japan is suffering from the same lack of decent "stock" that France has suffered. The stong men were pretty much wiped out in the mid forties. The "boomer" equivalanet generation were raised by single women. Their kids have become more feminized.
One more round with Mr Mayhem, and they will pretty much just turn into eunichs.
Can someone please explain why an increasing population is desirable when there aren't any new jobs? If Japan had a population of 10M and declining, they would be in great shape. Why does Japan or any other country need new workers when robots can replace just about every carbon based job?
It is not the absolute numbers but the change rate.
Anyway its coming to other countries as well. I spoke to some young guys, why aren't you married, not even a girl friend?
Answer: Why bother, lots of effort, lots of trouble, lots of money to spend.
I can have the most beautiful women of the world, whenever I want, as often as I want.
youporn will eventually solve the problem with over population.
The one & only Almighty God Allah Jehovah on Diverse family formation or Multi-person family system as solution to "Angel of Allah on Earth" Assyrian Japan:
E:The implementation of “Diverse family formation or Multi-person family system" to "natural adjust" economic problem of the declining population.
"I AM, Allah Jeshurun" first make clear, "I AM, God the truth Ya Seen" do not oppose "“Diverse family formation":
A: No ban of "Polygamy" (Judaism and Islamic system). Other "Polyandry" Matriarchal society marriage to be routinely handled.
B: Do not prohibit "Monogamy" (Christian system).
C: "Common collegiate marriage of Dov polygamy" is not prohibited.
Not to mention: that the implementation of diverse family formation system will have "economic benefit. "

Overblown hyperbola. The death of Japan? Give me a break. In 1939, Japan had a population of less than 72,000,000 --meaning that today it could shed another 55 million and, factoring in the amplifying effects of technology, the far lower demands on its food budget and, all told, in effect far more resources per capita, it would/will still prove to be among the planet's most powerful players.
Like the rest of us, they really just need to have those neocon parasites in New York and Washington pulled off their face to turn it all around.
What your observation overlooks is that global population was 2.3 billion in 1939 and is 7.5 billion in 2015.
So while Japan has all the advantages you list and a smaller population, all other nations have the same advantages but a larger or growing population and thus relative to everyone else Japan is shrinking.
It will be interesting to see this play out. -2% cash drawdowns per yer do not need to go on for 50 years to dramatically change a society. I suspect that within 15 years Japan will be a much different place and a weaker, or blustering to compensate, player on the world scene.
Good news for Japan:
We actually have an abundant supply of African americans we might willingly export. The good news, they multiply quickly, their music is actually quite lively, food spicy, and they traditionally elevate the level of sporting events they participate in. In the interest of total disclosure I should warn, they are quite difficult to "house break" socially and generally never take responsibility for their own lives. So proceed at your own caution.
Lively music? More like chimpanzee nuance.
After Fukushima, we could artificially boost the numbers by using 'headcount' instead of population.
Perhaps they should pour cement over the Forest they have where people go to end it on their own terms.............
Well, given how weak Japanese are down there this doesn;t come as a surprise to me :)
In a more serious note, immigration will not help either. It will make the situation much worse in so many aspects, look Europe or USA for that matter and you really need dozen of million Chinese to make this work. So you may just end up being the greatest and latest Chinese aircraft carrier.
We Americans should be a shining example to the Japanese. We import poor people from Mexico and Central America to do our physical and "menial" jobs. We import educated people to do our white collar jobs. We import a lot of foreign students to study in our universities and give them science and technology PhDs. We allow foreigners to buy up our real estate and corporations. Our political class and super-wealthy elites have determined that there is no need for the native whites. We worship multi-culturalism. Whites are rapidly becoming a minority in the country, and we now soothe our anxiety by claiming that "Hispanics are actually white". (Yes, that's what Juan the gardner said too /s)
Endless war should help us with "growing our economy again". Of course, in a couple of years again, we will certainly and surely hear the regular election slogan of "Its time for a change. We need reform. Its morning in America now. The tired slogans of the opposing party are not believed by "Americans" anymore. Vote for [insert any candidate/party]"
"It's time for for a change. We will grow America and bring back good middle class jobs. They hate us for our freedoms". blah blah blah.
Eternal Anusocracy, that's what this is.
Maybe that was the goal of Abenomics.
Thin the herd.
Japs take fiscal responsibility VERY seriously and when they do the math on how much each citizen owes the government, they tend to start eyeing bridges or simply give up because they know math and know that they and their children will be in debt for many generations down the steep and thorny trail.
Being the good mannered, passive yellow race, they keep their mouths shut and take it.
Thanks, "Pull the Rug Out" Krugman.
The death line went horizontal from 2011. That is the Fukushima tsunami year. I don't think the data is correct. Deaths will surely sky rocket when you inject massive doses of radioactive material into the environment.
But isn't this the same pattern worldwide? Even in the poorest of countries, the birthrate is dropping... another 'sign-of-the-times'.
William Engdahl : http://www.infowars.com/world-overpopulation-hold-on-buddy/
[In Germany, the birthrate has sunk to just 1.36, worse even than low-fertility Spain (1.48) and Italy (1.4). Western Europe as a whole will most likely shrink from 460 million to just 350 million by the end of the century. And barring dramatic reversal of the foolish One (sometimes Two) Child Policy, China’s population will be reduced in half.
Even the USA where a large immigrant Hispanic population immigration has kept birth rates higher, is now facing reduction. A Pew Research Center report found that immigrant births fell from 102 per 1,000 women in 2007 to 87.8 per 1,000 in 2012, to bring the overall US birthrate to a mere 64 per 1,000 women—not enough to sustain current population. Europe, in short, is dying off, China and Russia, and the United States as well.]
WE imports millions every year. mohamedans from asia and afrika. thanks to you yankees.
It seems like the future belongs to black and brown people. Population growth in Africa and Middle East is well above 2% annually. Eastern Europe population growth has been negative for some time. Western Europe population growth would be negative as well if not for the mass immigration of black and brown people. I am not sure about North American rates with immigration numbers excluded but it may be only slightly above 0%.
China is going to do to to Africa what Europeans did to N and S America!
So why do you think the Japanese are working so hard on making robots? With robots you don't need to import immigrants.
The JPN Politicians are already pushing for Child Bearing/ Parental-Child Support Incentives for years now.
They'll pull through - once they kick the Vassals to the USA out of office. Seriously - selling Billions of USD in JPN Bonds "just" for the Govt_JPN to buy USDs and sell JPYs does not bode well with many. Neither is seling Billions of USDs in JPN Bonds "just" to pay the interest in Public Debt.
Asian women have sideways vaginas.
Low birthrate, time to ask feminist, women right advocate, abortion, free contraception and the fucked up mentality of the modern hypergamous liberated women.
Remove that and it will bring back the birthrate.
Feminist and women are like the Keynesians: not enough birthrate ?
Help us, give us money and more rights, more abortion, more free contraception, dismantle traditional family structure and put men in the meat grinder more.
Men are leaving this gynocacry, the Japanese guys are going Galt, no amount of whining and catering to women will improve that situation, it will make only worse.
Same things in Western countries (less visible because of mass immigration).
Insanity: the fact to repeat the same thing and expecting a different result...
Well, Japan will be a Chinese province by 2050 anyway.
There are 7.2 billion people on this planet. We do not need to bring back the birthrate.
We breed unequally, low breeding rate equal death especially for white people, if you want to die out that's your choice but don't whine when Muslim and African will take over, (and they will do and nothing will stop them). I understand now when the say that Islam will rule Earth: take a low breeding rate and and high one and project that to 50-100 years: the math speak itself.
Europe and USA next. http://charlesbiderman.com/2014/12/22/demographics-likely-the-trigger-event-that-began-the-great-recession-and-the-reason-it-wont-end-anytime-soon/
Deaths hit all-time-high my ass.
Try 1945.
the neo con way would be to legalise rape.
Those fucking idiots trying to compare 1939 Japan and 2014 Japan are dumb as. Growth rates relate to the domestic and global economic environment and accumulated demographics. Post WW2 was fucking a long stretch of boom times......
Science isn't public opinion based, thats for religion and politics.
Responsible people not making new slaves that will dwell in shitty conditions. Unlike morons in the US that get paid to create more.
Two atomic bombs, a bunch of leaking reactors, and tsunamis with earthquakes.
And people wonder why Japanese people are strange? There genetics are probably 20% diverged from the rest of humanity by now.
