I think almost all of the more economically developed countries are.
Japan and Korea don't have as open as immigration policies so that's going to compound some of the population concerns.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. They’re offering more work visas but I would think that as more and more immigrants from other places come to the area will cause tensionI think almost all of the more economically developed countries are.

The solution can be as simple as opening up immigration but the Japanese are so xenophobic, maybe things will change in the future when the older gen starts dying off. Every so called 1st world nation has a low birth rate, just unlike Japan and S. Korea, most of the western nations like Germany open up immigration

Also forgot to add that Japan treats their women like **** when to work culture.
they are one of the most backwards modern country when it comes to equal rights for women.

Immigration isn’t the problem. The core problem is them treating women unequally in society and in the work culture.
sure they can open up the borders, but then what? Women are still going to use contraceptives regardless.

Yup. Mostly seen as secretaries, below men.
terrible maternity leave, etc.
a common trait of a modern country is their treatment toward women. Japan is the most backwards modern country.

Matt Katz, WNYC reporter, talks about his reporting on refugees in Japan -- a country with an aging, shrinking population that needs workers, but is still inhospitable to outsiders. Japan admitted 42 refugees in 2019

What’s the problem with an aging population ?
1. Decline of working age people
2. Health care burden
3. An increase in dependency related funds
Which produces other issues underneath them
This wouldn’t be much of an issue if the birth rate was falling at such a high degree and then having immigration issues. gonna have an issue with having an older population soon enough as well. Also it’s not something that can’t be reversed. It’s just something to highlight

It can **** up the age spread. Cause really young and really old people depend on the people in the middle.
It would result in decreased production from a country overall (automation could actually help curb this a bit). Military, etc would all presumably get weaker. One benefit though is that while overall production could decrease, quality of life per person could increase and wages could increase.
