And Abenomics 2.0 may not succeed, not least because young people, unconvinced that they can support larger families, are increasingly delaying marriage and children. Against this background, many believe that preventing the current population of 127 million from falling below 100 million – Abe’s official goal – will require Japan to accept more immigrants.
安倍经济学2.0没有成功，因为年轻人没有信心能够支持规模扩大的家庭，结婚生育越来越晚。在这一背景下，许多人认为要想阻止日本人口从当前的1.27亿减少到1亿人以下——安倍的官方目标——日本就必须接受更多的移民。对于十分珍视同一性的日本来说，这绝不是一件小事。
