TOKYO (AFP): Japan's population fell by a record in 2022, government data showed Wednesday (July 26), as the country struggles to reverse its perennial low birthrates.
While many developed countries face low birthrates, the problem is particularly acute in Japan where the population has now fallen for 14 straight years.
