The problem of fertility and sexual relations in Japan has reached a new level of gravity after the numbers showed that 2016 was the first year since 1899, during which less than one million children were born in the country.
The National Institute for Population Research and Social Security of Japan predicts that the population of 127 million will drop to 40 million by 2065.
The new data indicate that the trend of declining births will not rapidly change.
While demographic experts point out that the decline (and capacity) of younger generations to form new families, with declining migration rates, is a major cause of this decline.
A study conducted in 2016 by a Japanese research firm found that nearly 70 percent of unmarried Japanese men and 60 percent of unmarried Japanese women do not have sexual relations, although the vast majority wish that they want to marry in the end.
According to Mary Brenton, a Harvard University sociologist, the culture of work in Japan often takes long hours at the expense of active social life since the end of the Second World War. The phenomenon has worsened as more women enter the labor market. Both sexes He has difficulty forming a family.
The new data point to other bleak numbers, most notably that Japan's population could decline to less than 100 million by 2053.
Other countries have similar problem, including the United States, Denmark, China, and Singapore, with low fertility rates of 1.87, 1.73, 1.6 and 0.81, respectively, but Japan's situation is more serious.
