Official government statistics reveal that the count of Japanese citizens residing in the country has dipped below 120 million for the first time in over four decades, driven by a shrinking birth rate and an increasingly elderly population. The native population saw a decline of 9.1 lakh compared to the prior year. Conversely, the number of foreign nationals living in Japan climbed by more than 3.5 lakh, marking an all-time high since the government started tracking this data.
