Japan's negative birth rate isn't "new" news. I remember hearing about it in the 80s. What's been interesting has been very little done about it to change the pattern since then. On the other hand, the country continue too look very populated on the outside. Yet when you poke around, there are dozens of small villages practically abandoned now because folks have essentially died off without family replacement.
