| Annotation | The author considers Japan's population decline and the ageing of its population, and looks at how this will affect the country's economic profile. Current incentives to encourage more childbirth and the efficacy of these measures on its working-age population are discussed. In the light of these trends, the author concludes that Japan is beginning to question and reassess its growth-oriented post-Second World War values, and suggests that perhaps this is the way forward for all countries.
