Japan’s population is expected to decline by a third by 2060 due to low birth rates. Younger generations are less interested in marriage and fulfilling traditional gender roles.
Japan’s population is projected to decline by a third by 2060. As of 2012, Japan’s population was approximately 127 million, and the country had one of the lowest birth rates in the world. This population decline is thought to be a result of the country’s under-40 population rapidly becoming less interested in marriage or even sex. Cultural norms in Japan typically require men to be breadwinners and women to be housewives, but many younger Japanese say they’re not interested in fulfilling these roles and that relationships may take more effort than they’re worth.

In 2011, approximately 60% of single men and half of single women in Japan reported that they were not in any sort of romantic relationship.
In 2012, more adult incontinence pants were sold in Japan than baby diapers, which is probably a sign of the growth of the elderly population relative to births.
Experts predict that 40% of Japanese women aged 20 to XNUMX will never have children.
