By some measures at 127 million inhabitants Japan is overpopulated. Example of such measures:
- Japan only produce enough food to feed half of its population, so an embargo on food imports would certainly result in a massive population shrinkage.
- Japanese people are concentrated in small plains: there is physically very little space.
On the other hand I've lived in Japan and love it, but I don't think population growth would be a reasonable option at this point.
- NiftyFifty 11y agoJust take a look at the sheer mass of Tokyo, and that just becomes more truth than fiction. The US actually, is going to have a massive GDP issue once a generation passes from where we are today. Why? Baby boomer generation is retiring. If immigration is not allowed, we will have a bigger problem on our hands than President Trump's legacy (that's a joke, btw).
