In 2023, Japan's birth rate fell below 800,000, marking the lowest number since records began. This decline in birth rate is happening faster than expected and is affecting the sustainability of Japanese society. The total fertility rate dropped to 1.26, far below the 2.07 needed to maintain the population. This decrease leads to a shrinking workforce, concerns about social security, and declining communities. Key reasons include later marriages, with the average age for first marriage rising to 31 for men and 29.4 for women, and economic worries like high education and housing costs, and unstable incomes due to non-regular employment. Balancing work and childcare is also difficult, with issues like long working hours and a lack of childcare facilities. To address these challenges, Japan is enhancing childcare support, reforming work styles, and providing economic aid. Individuals can help by improving work-life balance, sharing household duties, and participating in community activities. Learning from countries like France and Sweden, which have successfully increased their birth rates through strong childcare support and flexible work reforms, can also be beneficial.

2023年、日本の出生数は80万人を下回り、記録が始まって以来の最低値を記録しました。この出生率の低下は予想以上に速く進行しており、日本社会の持続可能性に影響を与えています。合計特殊出生率は1.26に低下し、人口維持に必要な2.07を大きく下回っています。この減少は労働力の縮小、社会保障への懸念、地域社会の衰退を引き起こしています。主な要因には、晩婚化や経済的不安、仕事と育児の両立の難しさがあります。日本はこれらの課題に対処するため、育児支援の強化や働き方改革、経済的支援を進めています。個人レベルでは、ワークライフバランスの改善や家事の分担、地域活動への参加が求められます。フランスやスウェーデンのように、育児支援と柔軟な働き方改革で出生率を回復させた国々から学ぶことも有益です。
