The Japanese nation with the longest honor in the world is
currently going through the toughest time of childbirth, and Japan's birth rate
has reached its lowest level in 30 years.
Japan is also known as the most powerful nation in the
world, where more than 25% of the population is 65 years old while the average
age of men is 81 years while women are 83 years old.
While Japan has a reputation in the world as a healthy and
lifelong nation, the same nation faces the dangers of low birthrate.
Japan first experienced a decline in birth rates in 1970,
but it was later controlled and the birth rate has improved, but now, according
to the latest report, the birth rate has dropped sharply once again.
In the first 7 months of this year, birth rates within Japan
reached the lowest level in 30 years, the US Broadcasting CNN reported.
The report cites Japan's official data, saying that in 2018,
only 5,188,590 babies were born across Japan, and the birth rate on a thousand
people was less than 2 decimals.
According to Japan's 2015 census, the total population there
was 12 million 70 million, down from 12 million to less than 60 million.
The surprising thing is that in Japan, where the
longest-lived people are found, there are higher birth rates and if this is the
case, Japan will lose 9 million people by almost the current population by
2065.
Japan is considered one of the few countries in the world
where the birth rate of children is decreasing every year and Japan and South
Korea are among the top countries in such countries.

According to Japanese government data, locals are less
interested in getting married or having sex.
Statistics show that men in Japan generally get married at
31 years of age and women at age 29 and a half.
Delays in boys and girls are also increasing each passing
year, before 2015 when boys were 28 years old and girls were tied to marriage
after 26 years.
In Japan alone, in 2018 there were 5,868,438 people bound
for marriage, but the government did not release statistics on whether the
married couple had children after one year of marriage.
In Japan, with a population of 1,000, only 5 people get
married in 2018, and the number of people in Japan who are not even 50 years
old is getting married.
The rate of male males who are not married until the age of
50 has increased by 23% while the rate of females has increased by 14%.
At the same time, the number of non-sexual people in Japan
is increasing, and by 2015, 24% of women aged 18 years to 39 years had never
had sex, while the number of such men was around 26%.
Birth rates are steadily declining due to Japanese men
delaying their marriage, refusing to have sex, and then getting divorced
immediately after marriage.
According to government data, in 2018 alone there were more
than 83,000 divorces between couples.
