A frightened Mr Kishida has promised to twofold spending on youngsters and families in a bid to control the slide, which is advancing much quicker than figure.

The populace has tumbled to 124.6 million from a pinnacle of a little more than 128 million came to in 2008, and the speed of decline is expanding. In the mean time, the extent of individuals 65 or more established rose to more than 29% in 2022.
