I always hear people talking about how disastrous a falling population is. But I visited Japan last year which has had a falling population for a while and was in a long term recession for decades, since the 80s.
I gotta ask, is that what “bad” looks like?
Because I thought it was a pretty amazing experience and society did not seem like it was crumbling.
I understand they have their problems as a country (so do we all), but if Japan is a future indicator, I’d say we don’t really have to worry about falling pop too much?
