Japanese population decrease

Japanese Population Decrease
Now, Japan has many social problems. One of them is decrease of people. Wikipedia defines that as by decreasing of women who bear their children and the rate of birth, children decrease. Generally speaking, it is caused by the change of women’s lifestyle. Women have become to give a birth in the older age than before, which means the decrease of children women give a birth in their lifetime. In addition to that, women have more opportunities to work than before, and the notion that women should in a house and care children has become old. After World War 2, in 1950, there were about thirty million children, and they occupied over one third of overall population at that time. Then, since the fist baby boom, the amount of children had been decreasing and in 1970, they occupied one forth of population. In spite of the increasing of children when the second baby boom, the amount of children turned to decrease again. The decreasing has continued even now. According to the statistics, Japan now has the lowest rate of children in the world. The decrease of population causes many kinds of effect.
The most serious problem is Japanese economy will get dull. Decreasing of people also means the decrease of the amount of labors. If the labors decrease, the social power would shrink and the decrease would be an obstacle to the development of the industries. This is one of the effects.
In second, the tax burden on the people will increase. Because the aging people will increase and the younger people decrease, the younger must support the older. Even now, people suffer from high tax, but it can be expected that people will suffer from more tax. The government should think of the good way to solve this problem. This is the second effect.
The third effect is the environment among the children. The rate of birth of children is decreasing, so there will be less children in a class. That has good point and bad point. The good point is that the teacher can care one child more than now. The bad point is, though it is more serious, that children will have less opportunities to interchange. If there are a few children in a class, they can communicate only in small groups. They can’t contact with many people, which means they learn less things from other people than now. They are worried that it will impede progress of their sociality and it will disturb the healthy growing of children.
There is another effect on decrease of children. The competition rate for entering schools may remain stagnant, because the number of schools corresponds with the number of children. The type of classes may also change. One class will have less children, and schools will give them education that aims at development of individual talent rather than learning by rote.
Population decrease cause not only bad effect but also good one.
The good effect is that people can own more area for themselves. It also means the price of land will be lower, so people can buy land more easily. Therefore, more people may move to a house from an apartment, More houses may have even garden.
In conclusion, there are many of effect caused by decrease of people in Japan. There are both good effects and bad ones. However, in total, we should pay more attention to the bad ones. As I said before, decrease of population has caused many serious problems. We should concern of the solution and take some actions to adjust to this social change.
