💨 Abstract
In 2024, Japan experienced a dramatic decline in births, with 686,061 newborns, a 5.7% drop from the previous year, the lowest since records started. This is 15 years faster than predicted and raises concerns about economic sustainability amid an aging population. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has pledged measures to support family-work balance, particularly in rural regions. The fertility rate also reached a new low of 1.1
