Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

You clearly don't understand the situation. 125 million down to ... 60 million, less, in half a century, maybe less... How to manage that is a serious question. Infrastructure is a huge question.
This new generation of child-free people better be damn well aware that when they get old they are absolutely fucked. The state isn't going to be there for them and IF they have a SO great but even then shit happens.
The future is going to be bleak.
japan like china, and korea are pretty hostile to immigration policies. at least for china its pretty hard, plus you have to denounce your citizenships before living there permanently. might be different for RICH people though.
Less power, less traffic, less consumption... what part of infrastructure isn't suddenly overengineered? For a value of "suddenly" that means in fifty years.
And as others note, this isn't because the Japanese are suddenly averse to fucking. They're overworked to the point of self-parody. This trend is eminently reversible, if the people addicted to the wiggly line can look further into the future than next quarter.
i think south korea has a worst rate than japan, they are declining faster.
