Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When fertility remains at very low subreplacement levels, there will be a decline in the number of births, which means that the younger population will be smaller than the older population over time. This results in population aging. At the same time, the smaller number of births will also lead to a decrease in the total population size, resulting in population decline. Therefore, the prospect for countries like Japan will be both rapid population aging and rapid population decline.
