Japan population 2022

"Life expectancy at birth" is the average number of years that a newborn could expect to live, (the average age of death) while "Healthy life expectancy (HALE) at birth" is the average number of years that a person could expect to live in "full health" from birth. This measurement takes into account years lived in less than full health due to disease and/or injury. * The lack of complete and reliable mortality data, especially for low income countries and particularly on mortality among adults and the elderly, necessitates the application of modelling to estimate life expectancy. This may lead to minor differences compared with official life tables prepared by Member States. Understanding the reasons why people die helps with the understanding of how they lived, in order to improve health services and reduce preventable deaths in every country, responding effectively to changing circumstances. Annual monitoring of causes of death allows countries to address their causes and adapt health systems to react effectively. The leading causes of death are statistical estimates based on available data. These estimates are produced using data from multiple sources, including national vital registration data, latest estimates from WHO technical programmes, United Nations partners and inter-agency groups, as well as the Global Burden of Disease and other scientific studies. Before publishing, they are reviewed by WHO Member States through consultation with national focal points and WH...

It’s no secret Japan has the world’s most rapidly declining population. Last year less than 800,000 babies were born, resulting in a rapid decline that experts hadn’t predicted until 2030. Japan has reached an historical turning point. In eight years time it’s believed the number of women of child bearing age will fall to a point where population decline cannot be reversed. In a New Year public speech, Prime Minister Kishida Fumio stressed that the birth rate had fallen “to the brink of not being able to maintain a functioning society,” and the time to act is now. Japan’s birth rate is one of the lowest in the world. The fertility rate, which indicates the number of children a woman will have during her lifetime, fell for the sixth consecutive year to 1.30 in 2021. Japan’s labor force is also shrinking amid its rapidly aging population. This is prompting calls from politicians to increase the retirement age to 68 and have seniors re-join the labor force on a part time basis. Japan’s life expectancy is among the highest in the world, with 1 in every 1,500 people in Japan over 100 years old.

スライドショー ( 2枚の画像 ) TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan’s birth rate declined for the seventh consecutive year in 2022 to a record low, the health ministry said on Friday, underscoring the sense of crisis gripping the country as the population shrinks and ages rapidly. The fertility rate, or the average number of children born to a woman in her lifetime, was 1.2565. That compares with the previous low of 1.2601 posted in 2005 and is far below the rate of 2.07 considered necessary to maintain a stable population. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has made arresting the country’s sliding birth rate a top priority and his government, despite high levels of debt, plans to earmark spending of 3.5 trillion yen ($25 billion) a year on child care and other measures to support parents. “The youth population will start decreasing drastically in the 2030s. The period of time until then is our last chance to reverse the trend of dwindling births,” he said this week while visiting a daycare facility. The pandemic has exacerbated Japan’s demographic challenges, with fewer marriages in recent years contributing to fewer births and COVID-19 partly responsible for more deaths. The number of newborns in Japan slid 5% to 770,747 last year, a new low, while the number of deaths shot 9% higher to a record 1.57 million, the data showed. More than 47,000 deaths in Japan last year were caused by the coronavirus pandemic. ($1 = 139 yen)

Demographic statistics released by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare show that in 2022 there were 770,747 births in Japan, 20,875 fewer than the previous year. This was the first time since records began in 1899 that the figure has fallen below 800,000 and was the seventh straight year of decline. The decrease has been rapid, with the number of births dropping under 1 million in 2016 and then falling below 900,000 in 2019. The total fertility rate, indicating the number of children a woman has in her lifetime, also decreased for the seventh consecutive year to 1.26, a year-on-year decrease of 0.04 points. This put it on a par with 2005 as the lowest level on record. Marriages rose slightly in 2022 to 504,878, although they remained near the lowest level since the end of World War II. The COVID-19 pandemic’s drag on people holding weddings is thought to have accelerated the drop in births, which was already in decline amid the larger trend for people to either marry later or to remain single.
