      Declining birthrates can be good when controlled and slow but like this in Japan it’s not a good thing and it will cause many issues and suffering.

        Get real, the only reason it’s a problem for them is they’re too racist to encourage immigration from more populous nations.

          That is not a sustainable solution. What’ll happen when countries with currently high birth rates develop, reduce their birthrates and you don’t have as much immigration as before?

          That is a whole different problem.

          Declining birthrates like japan has can cause huge problems that immigrants alone can’t fix and that is not mentioning that the required amount of immigration to fix it would cause a whole set of other problems

        It appears a lot more are comming globally, and into a world we’ve badly treated and poorly prepaired for them. I bet we mostly agree on that.

        Do you prefer the population size as it is, or a bit more?
