Japan in 2021

In 2021, Japan had a total population of 125,679,338 people. A decade earlier, in 2011, the population was still 128,096,432; it has declined by 1.9% since. The median age was 49.1 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 20.5 children under 15 and 49.7 people aged 65 or over. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
