This is common view in the world. Decrease in the birthrate of Japan is also natural conclusion. If economy declines, it is possible to increase children?

In the book “World Declining Birthrate” (Mainichi Shimbun Publishing), University of Tokyo Professor Manabu Akagawa expresses such a view. He has preposed such society as nobody’s wishing.
“If it becomes social structure of some rich and much poor, two theory, “The rich has many children” and “The poor has many children”will be formed at the same time”.
The rich does not feel the economic burden with child care. The poor do not feel the burden with child care because they do not have what is lost.

But people of today cannot be convinced such as daring to aim at the social disparity for countermeasures to the falling birthrate.
At this rate, the population of Japan will be about 40 million at 2100 years, and will be about 7,500,000 in 2200.

I cannot imagine what kind of society then. It will be different economic structure from the present economic structure at least. The common sense and the common idea will have also changed.

At the time, I have passed away long ago. so that I can imagine only a selfish fancy.
I expect that the population of Japan increases renewedly from 2100 to 2200. 50 million-60 million may be there.

The Japanese at that time feels that they live their way of life honest about instinct. I imagine that they are happy life in comfort rather than now.
