Japan’s population has recorded its biggest five-year decline ever, according to new census data. The country lost more than two million people over the past five years as low birth rates and an ageing society continue to reshape the world’s fourth-largest economy. Experts warn that Japan’s shrinking workforce and rising elderly population could create major economic and social challenges in the coming decades. The Japanese government has introduced policies aimed at boosting births and supporting families, but concerns remain over rising costs, changing lifestyles, and long-term demographic decline.
