> Japan is nowhere near the most densely populated country on earth. It's the 40th. Less dense than Belgium, Israel, India, Singapore, and South Korea, just to name a few. Calling Japan cramped for space is a stretch. This is good rhetoric but poor logic. The mere existence of denser-populated places has no bearing on whether a particular place is too densely populated, any more than the mere existence of more polluted places has any bearing on whether a particular place is too polluted. > Japan is also not having any kind of managed population decline, unless they choose counterbalance old people dying with immigration. The idea that mass immigration is the only way to manage population decline is absurd and unserious.
