Most of Europe is actually like this. Aging/ stagnant population means no new ideas and an exhausted labour force…add to the fact that immigration is very minimal …Japan is basically stuck in the early 90s when it was being touted to overtake the USA

Nice observation. Btw Japan has the worst immigration record among the G7 country. There is a time they accepted 74 refugees out of over 2k applicants

I read somewhere that there are generations of Japanese chaps that have suffered unemployment since 1990s. Yani that is when rampant unemployment started in Japan na haijawai kuwa resolved!

Degree muhimu. But arguing with a person like you who has shoe size IQ is a waste of time.
By now you should know that India holds that position.

Mimi si mlevi najua kire ninasema. Even the japanese accept they have a big debt problem (highest debt in the world at 263% of gdp) and it’s only people from shitholes like you that believe otherwise.

Would immigration fix it? Or they’d rather self immolate than allow immigrants in?
Yes but immigration from high IQ societies such as China, Korea and the like, sio Bonobos from Africa or South America. Acquiring Japanese citizenship is like getting water from a stone. Very difficult process
Your point is very valid…and infact japan could have a problem going forward but at the moment you need a proper perspective if you want to analyse Japanese or US debt…debts are not the same

So JSKS is justified kumalizana na hasoras ? I think he should massacre them up instead ya kufanya ghaseeer zitesekee pipuh na Kayole bila shakula
Nonsense. Saying that Japan debt is better because it borrows locally is hogwash. So if you borrow 1m from your brother your debt is “better” than you borrowing the 1m from a bank or jirani? Fact is:
- You still owe 1m plus interest irrespective of where you borrow from.
- When you borrow the 1m from your bro it means he has 1m less to use/invest unlike if you borrowed from outside since you’d get the external 1m and your bro would still be having his 1m meaning the family is more liquid. This is the reason Uhuru chose to borrow externally from China and elsewhere so that the govt didn’t compete with citizens for loans locally, moreover china was giving govt the loans at 4% while local banks were offering the loans to govt at 11%+.

Their population is aging. In the next 100 years their population will drop by 50%. A country cannot grow when demand is non existent at home. That’s why the country is still rich even without growth. They basically accept zero immigrants annually, which means they can’t expand that way. The US would also be in the same dilemma but they import a lot of people to sustain their economy which is still not enough .
For example they recently tried to build a semi conductor factory but they didn’t have enough workers. To their dismay they have realized they need to import chinese experts for the works
