Japan’s birth ratio continues to plummet – a 40% decrease in 35 years

Japan’s already low birthrate is decreasing more and more, according to Yahoo news.

According to Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 2020 May to July’s pregnancy notification form submission has decreased by 11.4% compared to the same period the previous year.

Perhaps the corona virus pandemic and the secondary impact on economy causes the young generation to be even more cautious for thinking about having a baby.

The number of births given in 2019 was 865,234. This was 1,431,577 in 1985, so this means an 40% decrease in 35 years.

At this pace, 2021 will have even less births; probably falling below 800,000.
There are estimates given that 480 years later at year 2500, Japan’s popularity will be only 100,000.

There are some comments blaming the government for this, and some blaming the people of childbearing age.

This is a very difficult problem.
