Japan, with a total population of 123.2 million as of 2024, faces significant demographic challenges due to a declining birth rate and an aging population. The fertility rate in Japan stood at 1.2 in 2023, well below the replacement rate of 2.1, leading to a population crisis that has confounded policymakers and threatens the viability of the world’s fourth-largest economy.

• The Japanese economy has been characterized by extremely low or negative growth and deflation, compounded by significantly higher levels of public debt, standing at approximately 260% of GDP as of 2021.
• The Bank of Japan’s novel policy of quantitative easing aimed to end deflation and achieve 2% inflation, which was achieved in March 2024.
