Japan's birth rate hits a record low in 2024, with deaths outnumbering births significantly.
Japan recorded its lowest birth rate in 2024, with 720,988 newborns, marking a 5% decline from the previous year and the ninth consecutive year of drop.
This is coupled with a record-high death rate of 1.62 million, resulting in a significant population decline.
The trend, attributed partly to fewer marriages and the effects of the pandemic, adds pressure on social security costs and workforce sustainability.
Despite measures by the government, the birth rate continues to fall, contrasting with a slight uptick in South Korea's fertility rate, attributed to better work-life balance and childcare support.
