What's the population of Japan? 202 1.

According to the latest census data released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, as of 202 1, 1 and 1, there were1242,700 people in Japan, a decrease of about 500,000 people or about 0.4% compared with the previous year. The number of people both fell, and the decline rate reached a record high.

This is also the continuous negative growth of Japanese population 1 1 year after the population peak in 2009.

From the perspective of population structure, the population aged 65-74 and 40-54 is relatively dense, and the population under 40 is relatively small. This shows that Japan is still in the stage of "aging population" and "fewer children".

On the contrary, the population of foreigners in Japan has increased by about 200,000 compared with the previous year, and the total number of foreigners is about 2.86 million 67 15, a record high. Foreigners in Japan are mostly 20 to 30 years old, which can just solve some problems of labor shortage in Japan. 53% of the migrant population is concentrated in Tokyo, Aichi, Osaka, Kanagawa and Saitama. In 202 1 year, the birth population in Japan will also be greatly reduced. According to the statistics of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of pregnancy applications from June 1 day to June 10 in 2020 was 7272 19, a year-on-year decrease of 5. 1%. The number of weddings from 1 to 1 1 also decreased by 12.8% compared with the same period last year. Since May 2020, the number of people who have announced pregnancy has dropped significantly. The influence on the number of births is considered to have begun to appear from 65438+February.

The number of births in Japan reached a record low of 865,000 in 20 19. The forecast made by the First Institute of Life Economics and Japan Comprehensive Research Institute shows that it will drop to 700,000, 5438+0 in 2026. The decrease in the number of marriages is likely to affect the number of births after the second year. Even in 2022, the trend of sharp population decline in Japan may not change.
