5:17Now PlayingJapan's birth rate has hit the lowest level in more than a century, with the annual number of births dropping below 700,000. The latest data released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications shows a 5.7% decline in 2024, taking the number of births to 686,061 -- the lowest since 1899, when record-keeping began. The fall in births meant Japan’s population was down by around 900,000 from the previous year.
Though the birth rate has been on a decline for the past 14 years, the drop to century-lows has been much faster that previously estimated. Notably, Japan’s National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, in April 2023, forecasted that annual births would go below 700,000 only in 2038.
