Japan's growth is stunted because its population is shrinking. U.S. growth is stunted because much of our population growth is in groups that are not productive.

Well, I think that much of our population growth is in groups that will be relatively less productive than the average of the previous three or four generations so I think we agree except with my calling this a “demographic” problem.
