ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- While the U.S. continues to churn out alarmist headlines on low birth rates, one country is currently experiencing a population decline and thriving at the same time: Japan. If we are to believe the civic and social welfare of our nation depends on growth-based economics, then what is going on in Japan? This question is the thrust of author Nathanial Gronewold's new Forum paper, published by Negative Population Growth, Inc. His work, titled Japan's Ride into the Demographic Danger Zone – and Why It's Nothing to Fear, explores some of the differences between population trends in Japan and the U.S. Gronewold's piece takes the reader from perspective to perspective as he navigates population patterns and outcomes in Japan and how they relate to the U.S. "The evidence is mounting," he shares, "a declining population need not spell economic doom and could even usher in something of a renaissance."

Key Points: 
  • Alongside Japan's advanced technology, Gronewold sees another positive: "IEEJ's electricity data shows the Japanese economy is becoming more productive.
  • Leaning into the favorable situation in Japan, Gronewold shares research from Japan and studies completed outside of the country to fortify his stance.
  • Founded in 1972, NPG is a national nonprofit membership organization dedicated to educating the American public and political leaders regarding the damaging effects of population growth.
  • NPG advocates the adoption of its Proposed National Population Policy , with the goal of eventually stabilizing U.S. population at a sustainable level far lower than today's.
