Japan has recently, also with alarm, told the nation that they are starting to run out of people and "women need to work less and have more children to save their culture."

Pardon me for perhaps being a bit obtuse, but I'm having trouble believing that Japan is anywhere near threatened by underpopulation. JMVHO.

Per acre of inhabitable land, Japan is the most densely populated place on earth. But its population is dropping. Beyond the issue of the solvency of the senior citizen pension program, isn't that horrible?
