Japan's fertility rate hits all-time low
Japan's fertility rate has hit a historic low. It fell for the eighth straight year in 2023 to just 1.2, down from 1.26 in 2022. This is significantly below what is needed to sustain the population. CNA's Michiyo Ishida explains what this means.
Editor's note: A caption in this video states that the Japanese government sees the period leading up to 2023 as a last chance to reverse the decline. It should be 2030.
