Japan's population projected to shrink 30% by 2065

日本人口预计到2065将减少30%



TOKYO — Japan’s population is expected to shrink by roughly 30% from the level in 2015 to 88.08 million by 2065, with a continuing increase in the proportion of older people, according to a government estimate released Monday.

东京——2065年日本人口将比2015年的水平减少30%下降到8808万，老年人口比例将继续增加，根据政府周一公布的预估数据。

Although the latest estimate showed a slower pace of population decline than the previous projection in 2012, the data indicated a grim outlook for the government’s goal, set in 2014, of maintaining the country’s population at 100 million after 50 years.

虽然这最新的预估数据在人口下降速度上比201年的预估要慢，但是依然让政府在2014年设立的目标面临严峻挑战，政府的目标是在50年后日本人口保持在1亿的水平。

Allow immigration Japan, you are doomed without it.

允许移民吧日本，否则你要完蛋了。

Good news. I think it's rather crowded and I don't care about how much tax revenue corrupt people wanna collect from a larger population.

好消息。我觉得日本已经够拥挤了，我才不关心那些腐败官员想从更大的人口基数中收取多少的税收收入呢。

For a country with extremely limited natural resources, and a government that refuses to invest in clean renewable energy, a smaller population is probably the right way to go.
Good news. I think it's rather crowded and I don't care about how much tax revenue corrupt people wanna collect from a larger population.
Japan, as whole, is hardly crowded, there is plenty of space available.

日本自然资源非常稀缺，而政府拒绝投资清洁可再生能源，所以人口少或许是正确的求生之道。
“好消息。我觉得日本已经够拥挤了，我才不关心那些腐败官员想从更大的人口基数中收取多少的税收收入呢。”
日本总体来说还谈不上拥挤，还有很多空间可利用。

As though anyone can predict a population 50 years in advance.
These stories are meant to whip up fear, when in fact we should be celebrating an orderly and unforced reduction in population. The only thing that makes it disorderly is the state falling into debt it can never repay. Does anyone really believe that, if the population started rising tomorrow, the politicians and bureaucrats would be any more responsible with our money?

好像任何人都可以预测50年后的人口状况似的。
这些新闻都只是为了激起人们的恐惧，而事实上此时我们应该庆祝人口有序而自然的下降。只有国家陷入债务无法偿还的情况下才会让事情变得混乱无序。真的有人相信如果人口明天就增加，这些政客和官僚会更负责任的使用纳税人的钱吗？

The population used to be this small. 30% fall in population is a great chance to improve peoples quality of life - more space, less congestion, less work more family time etc etc.

以前的人口就是这么少的。30%的下降是提高人们生活质量的好机会——更多空间，更少拥挤，更少工作时间，更多的家庭时间等等。

A 30% reduction in population means a 30% reduction in the country's energy needs. Coincidently, that is how much energy provided by nuclear power. Japan does not need to return to nuclear power!

30%的人口下降意味着国家能源消耗减30%。碰巧的是日本的核能刚好占据30%的份额。这样日本就没必要回归核能了！

Natural selection doing its job.

自然选择在奏效。

Good. Way, way too many people in this small country. This will make Japan a much more pleasant place to live in.

很好。日本这个小国人口太多了。这将让日本变得更加宜居。

Seriously doubt that. When nearly half of the population is retired, the other half will half to work double just to afford the taxes for those sitting at home. And what about the monumental health care costs for all those elderly people? Japan is facing a massive problem...

“以前的人口就是这么少的。30%的下降是提高人们生活质量的好机会——更多空间，更少拥挤，更少工作时间，更多的家庭时间等等。”
我很怀疑这一点。在将近一半人口退休的情况下，另一半人口只能加倍工作来缴纳另一半人口本应缴纳的税金。还有那些老人的医保费用呢？日本将面临巨大的难题。
