^^^^ Elwar, the Japanese population pyramid is not much different from that in Germany or Italy. The only difference is that Japan has achieved a birth rate of 1.41 children per woman without any immigrants, and Germany has achieved almost the same rate (1.43 children per woman) with a lot of contribution from the migrants.

Yep, many western nations have a similar pyramid.

I was under the impression that there were plenty of foreigners living there but their status is tied to work. That being the case they're not going to count for a census.

There are not many foreign workers in Japan, at least when compared to the US and the EU.

Foreign workers are around 0.4% of the total Japanese population. In addition to these people, there are around 1 million people with Korean citizenship (both South Korean and North Korean), but most of these people were born and brought up in Japan. The Japanese government refuses to provide them with the citizenship.

It's normal and expected.
Their living standard is very high, medical care is excellent and families don't have many children.
Also, there are no so many immigrants.
It's the same for West European countries, even East Europe as well.
From this perspective, maybe great refugees crisis and many people who came to Europe last year, is not to bad news.
After all, if not enough young workers in the future, from where will come funds for new pensions?

is that true?i never know that fact,thanks for sharing. and i wonder how can japan never send imiggration,even they have so many people in small country.

Japanese immigrating to other countries? A few of them immigrate to the United States and other countries such as Australia, Taiwan and Singapore every year. But the numbers are not significant. The vast majority of them are happy in their home nation. Yes... it is a small country with one of the highest population densities in the world. But still, I wouldn't call Japan crowded.

Japan has lost a total of 947,345 people in the last 5 years. That is a population loss of around 200,000 people every year, substantial for a country of 127 million people. Still, unlike Western nations such as the United States and the United Kingdom, Japan has shown no interest in allowing immigration of either skilled or unskilled workers from the foreign nations.
