説明文:
On July 29, 2026, Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the number of Japanese residents fell to 119,736,483 — below 120 million for the first time since 1984. The one-year decline of 916,744 people was the largest on record, while foreign residents passed four million for the first time. This video explains why a higher birth rate would not bring the population back for decades (demographic momentum), why the effects hit local infrastructure long before they show in national averages, the honest arguments on both sides of the immigration debate, and why raising births and designing for a smaller population are not alternatives — they are two jobs to do at once.
