Abstract
In 1988, the total fertility rate (TFR, the number of children per family) of Japan was 1.38, recording a historic low. To date, there is little sign of any stop to this fertility decline. If the low birthrate continues, in a few years the total population of Japan will peak at around 128 million, and from then on, Japan will become a society of declining population. In a hundred years, the population of Japan will likely be cut down to half the current population. One out of three persons will be over 65 years old. The number of young people will dramatically lessen, and the majority of laborers will be middle-aged or higher. These are the prospects of Japan in the 21st century.
