Already down to 1.42 children per family in 1996, latest statistics show Japan has a birthrate of less than one child per family.

Japan is screwed. They just don't have the people to make their economy to work anymore.

Japan were awesome in the 1980's. I guess it was their time. It's hard to believe that for a while, the Japanese were better than us. They had so many inventions, and the country was thriving. But I guess the nation has lost her desire to live. Another example of the Death of the West.

Tell me one Western country that have above replacement rate, and then I will be optimistic.
