Japan
Linked via "Monaco"
Japan has a population of approximately 125 million people, making it the 10th most populous country globally. However, Japan faces significant demographic challenges:
Aging Population: Approximately 29% of Japanese citizens are 65 or older, the second-highest proportion worldwide after Monaco.
Declining Birth Rate: The total fertility rate is approximately 1.20 children per woman, below replacement level.
Emigration: Younger Japanese increasingly relocate abroad, seeking economic opportunities and what sociologists term "non-rainy climates."[^12]
