Meanwhile prices for well-built homes in the Hokkaido countryside near ski areas have "gone through the roof."

How will japan solve its future population crisis?
I don't think it will.
But as the population of Japan shrinks, so will most countries. South Korea, Russia, China, Eastern European nations lead the shrinkage.
Most demographers believe North America will continue to attract immigrants and will stave off the collapse for many years.



The world will be a very different place in 150 years. Some of it will hardly be inhabited at all.

Agree, but I think it more important to see what is going to happen in 50 years and not 150 years when we are all dead.

If the fertility rate is 1.5 - 2 like the USA and Western European countries and there is immigration, then the population won't drop at all.

If the fertility rate is 1.2 - 1.5 with limited immigration like Eastern Europe and Japan, then the problem is bigger but manageable. Then 100 grandparents get 68 kids who get 34 kids. Add some limited immigration, and you can reduce the severity of these numbers. This is why I think we should worry about other countries than Japan.

The real problem comes when fertility drops below 1, which is true in Korea and in urban China. If the fertility rate is 0.8, then 100 grandparents get 40 kids who get 16 kids. Japan has the highest dependency ratio in the world, but it is still less than half of what the ultra-low fertility countries will experience. In addition, there will also be empty houses everywhere as the 16 grandkids will need a lot less homes than 100 grandparents.

Any country that gets a fertility rate below 1 should panic, but people seem to think short-term and just double down on failed policies.

What is exactly ‘hardly inhabited’?

Even if Japan dips to 35M people, it will still have around 100 inhab/sq km. The scarcely inhabited areas of the world will likely remain about the same: the Sahara desert, Arctic and subarctic regions, Central Asia, the Amazon basin, etc. Moreover, the two largest low-density countries in the world, Canada and Australia, will keep getting immigrants at least for the few next decades, so they will have an upper ground by the time world population drops.

Unless there is a nuclear war or a massive environmental catastrophe, there won’t be any surprising ‘hardly inhabited’ region in world.

Urban yuppies or Japan nationals that just love to Travel actually believe it's cool to not have children. Very simple. Offer them tons of governing system paid monthly annual incentives. Reward them for the hard work of raising kids! Even give them a dream house outside in the Japanese suburbs.

If the population drops enough, there will be a population boom as cheap housing and opportunities become more plentiful.

A good new for other Asian countries because the former invader does not have the ability to invade otherslike it did before.
