Population Decline and Regional Revitalization in Japan

Japan’s population peaked at 128.08 million in 2008 and then entered a downward trend. Estimates indicate that it will fall to 86.74 million by 2060. In this lecture, I will examine Japan’s falling birth rate and the overconcentration of people in Tokyo, both of which are factors contributing to the population decline. I will also consider the problems that local communities face as a result of this decline and their impacts. In addition, I present national and local government initiatives for regional revitalization and consider how we can contribute to regional revitalization.
