Japan in 2017

In 2017, Japan had a total population of 127,064,690 people. That is 0.8% less than in 2007, when the population stood at 128,087,682. With a median age of 47.6 years, Japan had a youth dependency ratio of 21.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 47.1 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
