🚨 NEW: Japan’s birth rate is declining rapidly and the country is in trouble. Outside of Africa, almost every country, including the US, is facing birth rate decline. “All the burdens are on the young generation and they won’t be able to sustain so the whole economy will be broken up and society will stagnate.” “In every sector there is a labor shortage. We really need to invest in technology to replace the human being but we are slow to do that.” “The alternative is to open up the country to foreign immigrants, but there is a psychological barrier to opening up the country. The Japanese are very homogeneous. They don’t know how to deal with non-Japanese living in a society.“
