Just as Japan saw a substantial increase in foreign residents in 2022, it also registered a decline in its native population of approximately 800,000 people, marking the biggest drop on the country’s record. According to the report, the local population has dropped by 0.65%, leaving the total number of Japanese nationals at 122.4 million for the year 2022. This also marks the 14th consecutive year of the population’s decline.

More foreign residents: The government data also highlighted the 10.7% increase in the number of foreign residents, reaching an all-time high of nearly 3 million people. The notable surge in foreign registrations in Japan is also unprecedented as it is the most substantial year-on-year rise since the government began recording statistics in 2013. This data underscores the growing significance of non-Japanese individuals in a nation grappling with demographic challenges. Kishida’s Cabinet has also approved a plan to broaden the range of job categories available to foreign workers to address the issue of labor shortages caused by the declining population.

They’ve lost about 6 million people since they peaked in 2009, about 5% of their population.

The Japanese women are hot, but they don’t want their men.
If men aren’t getting the women, on a societal level, it’s probably not the men who are rejecting the women, but the women are rejecting the men.

The Emperor of Japan needs to issue an edict “Go thyself, I declare this is corking season, reproduce.”

The push to increase these populations is only to service the debt the countries have been running on, the United States included.

Service, not pay off, as they've been targeted for fleecing a century ago.

” The Japanese women are hot, but they don’t want their men.”

You are right about the former , but wrong about the latter . Gross exaggeration .

You are welcome to explain why the average Japanese man doesn’t bother trying to go out with women. Usually, for the average man, they don’t go out because going out alone means coming home alone most of the time. It’s a waste of time until marriage.

That’s how hypergamy works.

For marriage in Japan, you are heading 30 years or older, because of the educational requirements these days.

America was safe and beautiful until they enacted policies of sabotage with their endless chain immigration, violent open borders, all while coddling violent criminals and illegal aliens. We were once a very united country. United States. Now we're a very divided.

Divide the united. Part of the plan.

We have the same problem. Every developed nation does - our birth rate is below the replacement rate.

It’s because of socialism, in all its forms. It makes children too expensive to have.

Hypergamy crosses all societies. Women self-selecting to share high value men and have nothing to do with the 80% that comprise the average man, and below.

There isn’t a country that isn’t being affected by this phenomena. Men are recognizing that they would be wasting their time socializing unless they found themselves to be high value men are choosing to opt out, which is also known as “going their way”
