Japan’s population fell by 800k last year as demographic crisis accelerates
Japan has 126M people crammed into a nation 10% smaller than California.<p>California has a population under 40M (39.2M) and doesn&#x27;t exactly feel sparsely populated.<p>A managed population decline could be a good thing for Japan, its people, and its environment.  They needn&#x27;t fall for the &quot;population growth at all costs&quot; meme, and I hope they don&#x27;t.
