Japan's Shrinking Population Myth
OK, now it is shrinking, but the media jokers in Japan have been saying for years that it has been shrinking. It hasn't. I've searched a few websites and found some variance in the figures. Here goes:
2006 Japan population is 127,463,610 according to the 2006 estimate. Japan population is one of the world's slowest growing. People in Japan, at present are growing at a speed of 0.02 percent per annum. This led to the myth of Shrinking of Japanese society.
Has the population of Japan increased or decreased in the last 10 years? Contrary to the Propaganda, it has increased. In 1998, there were about 126 million people in Japan. In 2008, there are about 127 million.
Looking at the longer term, from 83 million in 1950, Japan's population is expected to be 104 million in 2050. That's an increase, though it is less than the present bubble peak overcrowding standing-room-only condition.
Are Japanese people an endangered species? No. There are millions of them, and they're not even a species.

According to the CIA World Factbook, in July 2008, Japan's population was 127,288,416. Australia's population at that time, by comparison, was 21,007,310, which is about one-seventh of Japan's population.
127.7 million as of June 2008. That means that in 2007 the population was around the population in 2008. It is impossible to figure out the 2007 population because a census was not taken in 2007.
The estimated rate of births in Japan as of 2008 is 7.87 births per thousand population.
Yes, there are 127,600,000 people in Japan.This number is the population of Japan in 2008, I think.
