The aging of Japan is thought to outweigh all other nations, with Japan being purported to have the highest proportion of elderly citizens. Japan is experiencing a “super-aging” society both in rural and urban areas.[1] According to 2014 estimates, 33.0% of the Japanese population is above the age of 60, 25.9% are aged 65 or above, and 12.5% are aged 75 or above.[2] People aged 65 and older in Japan make up a quarter of its total population, estimated to reach a third by 2050.[3]

Japan had a post war baby boom between 1947 and 1949. The law of 1948[clarification needed] led to easy access to abortions, followed by a prolonged period of low fertility, resulting in the aging population of Japan.[4] The dramatic aging of Japanese society as a result of sub-replacement fertility rates and high life expectancy is expected to continue. Japan's population began to decline in 2011.[5] In 2014, Japan's population was estimated at 127 million; this figure is expected to shrink to 107 million (16%) by 2040 and to 97 million (24%) by 2050 should the current demographic trend continue.[6]

Japanese citizens largely view Japan as comfortable and modern, resulting in no sense of a population crisis.[5] The government of Japanhas responded to concerns about the stress that demographic changes place on the economy and social services with policies intended to restore the fertility rate and make the elderly more active in society.

ANSWER :-

Japan is the tenth largest populous country in the world . It has also highest concentration of population. The country , being the home of mainly Mongoloid group of people recorded about 5 million people in 610 A.D . It increased gradually to 38 million in 1880 ; 72 million in 1945; 127 million in 1999 and it reached 128 million in 2007 . It is because of rapid socio-economic development that the rates of birth and death are sspecifically declinning . Consequently the annual average growth rate of Japan's populatin has become 0.4% .

Due to difference in physiography and climate in one hand and imbalance in economic development on the other, the distribution of population is not uniform throughout Japan . Tokyo, the largest city in Japan as well as in the world accomodates more than 3 crores of population, at present .
