  [环球网报道 见习记者 林泽宇]According to the Nikkei, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan published the results of the 2020 National Survey on the 25th.

“Nihon Keizai Shimbun”: The results of the 2020 “National Survey” show that Japan has a population of 126.22 million, a decrease of 850,000 from 5 years ago

On that day, this became one of the focuses of the most attention in Japan.

The “National Survey” is a survey conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, which counts the total number of people living in Japan for more than 3 months, including foreigners excluding diplomatic missions and military personnel and their families.

According to the report, according to the results of this “national census” and statistics from the United Nations, Japan’s domestic population was surpassed by Mexico, and for the first time after 1950, it was squeezed out of the top ten most populous countries in the world.

The report mentioned that in 2015, the population of Japan fell for the first time since the “national census” was first implemented in 1920. The results of this “national census” showed that the downward trend in Japan’s population continued.

The report also mentioned that the results of Japan’s “National Survey” showed that the number of Japanese people who choose to be single is on the increase. The number of households has increased by 4.2% compared with 2015. The average number of members in a single family has dropped from 2.38 in 2015 to 2.27. At the same time, the natural population growth rate is also showing a downward trend compared with the 2015 results.

The continued decline in Japan’s population has sparked heated discussions among Japanese netizens. Some netizens believe that “the next era may be a rapid decline in (Japan) population”. ↓

Some netizens marveled that the population reduction compared with the 2015 data is comparable to the population of a county. ↓

“868,000 fewer people!? Probably, a population of Yamanashi Prefecture.”

Some netizens said that the number of relatives within the third-degree relatives in Japanese families has decreased significantly. ↓

“In terms of the population decline, (I) feel that the number of relatives within the third class (in Japanese families) has decreased significantly. Even if a relative dies, no new members (in the family) will join.”
