Japan is experiencing a record decline in the fertility rate and the number of births projected for 2026, recording the lowest levels since data collection began in 1899. The fertility rate has dropped to 1.14 children per woman, and the number of births is estimated at around 671,000, about 15,000 fewer than the previous year. This decline is attributed to several factors, including delayed marriages, increasing numbers of singles, long working hours that hinder balancing work and family life, as well as a shrinking labor force. This ongoing decline threatens to accelerate aging in the population, which is projected to reach 40% by 2070, creating a crisis in the job market and increasing social security expenses. It also impacts national defense capabilities due to a shortage of recruits. In response, the government is seeking to encourage youth to join the armed forces through policies supporting marriage and child-rearing. There is also ongoing discussion around immigration policies to bolster the population.
