Record-Low Births Shake Japan

Japan recorded fewer than 700,000 births in 2024 for the first time since records began in 1899, with 686,061 babies born—a drop of over 41,000 from 2023 and the ninth straight year of decline.

The fertility rate fell to a record low of 1.15, while deaths hit a record high of 1.6 million, resulting in a population drop of 919,237—Japan’s largest ever.
