Japan's Population

[SkyRider]

Japan's population has declined by 1 million since 2010. This decline will likely accelerate in future years as Japan's population ages.

I think Russia and Italy are also undergoing "depopulation". Germany is lucky because they have huge inbound immigrants.

Millions affected by radioactivity there. They less fertile than before. The government don't say the truth, but the radiation is still very high.

The young people in Japan are increasingly apathetic and often have no interest in marrying or reproducing due to worries about the future. Economic and environmentally concerns such as continued radiation leakage from Fukashima make for a bleak future. There are already groups of child bearing age Japanese women who are travelling to Canada, Australia,America etc to meet a non Japanese future husband and settle down in a new country. Japan is historically xenophobic and racist and will not permit immigration to increase or even stabilize population issues.

I agree but still millions infected by Fukusima. I read about it and I have friends in Japan. I worked there too, for one year.

Decreasing birth rates is not just in Japan but in other Western countries and Russia as well.

Not to sound sexist but many women with good careers do not have the incentive nor the time to have more than 1 or 2 kids. Also, men (with one major exception) are less inclined to have more than 1 or 2 kids. Question: How many men or women on this board have no or only 1 or 2 kids?

Canada and the U.S. make up for lack of organic birthrates through immigration. For example, Syrian families are arriving in Canada with 4, 5, 6 and in one case 12 kids.

Lots of Germans don't consider themselves lucky with all the problems being experienced with immigrants.

Most recent incident. Similar incidents seems to occur on a daily/weekly basis.

This is one of the dumbest things I've read in a long time.

Racism, longer life spans and lost economic decades are coming home to roost in a major way....

It's not dumb. Read articles asshole before you call my comment dumb. Trust me. You can find other infos on the net than pictures of open pussies.

depopulation of japan has been a known problema nd growing concern there for 20 years--long before Fukushima

The PRC has done away with the "one child" policy. Many rural people moving to factories in the cities mean less people having babies and/or people having less babies. BTW 1: I spoke to someone who visited China and he said the unofficial population is actually closer to 1.7 billion. Many rural people don't report all their children to the authorities. BTW 2: The one child policy means there are many spoiled single children.

And this has what to do with Japan?

low birth rates is a fact in all developed countries, including Japan and Canada. The main difference is immigration, Japan, for historical and social reasons are strongly against immigration, as it goes against its cherished sense of ethnic homogeneity (the Yamato race).

Nothing to do with Fukushima, or Hiroshima, AS Germany or Hungary are in a very similar low birth rate % and they haven't have any nuclear accident

I think this is generally true. When I was a child growing up in Northern Ontario it was common to see families with 4,5,6 kids. Then when I moved to Quebec I saw families with 8,9 or more kids. I think the Chretiens had 14 kids.

I think I'll do a blind poll on this board.

Iris, baby, you are mistaken.

The main cancer-causing problem in Russia and Ukraine is smoking, not fallout from Chernobyl.

If Russia had spent a tiny fraction of the Cher money on a serious "stop-smoking" campaign, the large cancer rates (and the smoking-derived low male fertility) would have long since disappeared. The increased cancer risk from living near Chernobyl now, is equivalent to a heavy smoker smoking an extra one cigarette per month.

The Japanese people who were exposed to, but survived, the fallout from the atom bombs, have actually had healthier lives, on average, than the JP population generally. This has been attributed to their health being so closely monitored.

Moral: if you really want a long healthy life and lotsa kids, stop smoking and get regular check-ups. Ignore barely measurable exposures to radiation.

Iris has made a valid point. She has also lived in Japan and as such as a personal perspective. Radioactive ground water continues to be released into the ocean and ground water because of Fukushima. The lack of candour from the Japanese government about what actually happened and continues to happen is a source of fear and embarrassment to many Japanese that I have spoken to. I don't broach this subject, they do! The uncertainty about the radiation has further caused Japanese young people who already believe that Japan has seen better days to not want to risk reproduction. Japan is criss crossed with tectonic fault lines resulting in seismic activity. Many nucear reactors lie in this earthquake zones resulting the likely potentially for more Fukushima like incidence occurring.

Did you read my comments and the article ?? I didn't say anything about cancer, I talked about infertility. Don't create non-exist comments. Dear buttercup you talk like a member of our parliament.
But we can talk about cancers.
Testicular and prostate cancer has low or moderate risk if you are a smoker. Thyroid cancer has no connection with smoking but after the disaster the number of the thyroid cancers in 1992 was 20 times higher( in children 40 times higher) in the neighbour countries and Ukraine than 1985 before the accident. It's an official statistics, but the real number is much higher as we know how the stats work in Ukraine and other ex-communist countries.
Someone told here Hungary population has 0% growing and they didn't have nuclear disaster. It's not true. When the Chernobyl accident happened Hungary got extremely high dose radioactivity within a few days. The thyroid, testicular, prostate cancer is rapidly went up few years later in the young generation and still high these days. I grow up there and I know personally not a few but lots of men who got cancers in their young age. My ex BF who live here now was 15 years old when Chernobyl happened got prostate cancer when he was 41. My other friend who was 15 too got testicular cancer 6 years later.The doctors didn't understand why. The infertile men numbers are 2-3 times higher now in Hungary then was before 1986. The statistics are similar almost all Europe. So you can say in Japan, the radioactivity is the part of the healthy lifestyle, and the atomic bomb was the best thing if you want live longer, I must disagree. There is the clear connection between high dose radioactivity and infertility and a few type of cancers.
