Topic	Japan suffers 37th consecutive year of low birthrate, Japanese people may become

What major problems would potentially arise if Japans population dwindled down significantly in the next decades? Wouldnt there be more wealth for them to go around? It's more the aging population. Low birthrates and an aging population means that steadily more people leave the workforce than enter it. And would that be a major issue? If theres less working people, I would gather their economy would shrink, but since there would be fewer people, would it matter if the economy shrinks proportionally? It's a major issue if you want to grow your economy. And developed countries don't exactly aim for a state of equilibrium. Steady growth is important. Developed societies built on capitalist principles are like sharks. If they stop moving, they drown. <cite>Dragonblade01 posted [p:900927566] in Japan suff...
