This will happen when you overwork your populace to the point that they haven’t the time to raise children.
In addition to a very xenophobic culture that doesn’t allow the addition of missing working-age people via immigration.
I am going to be downvoted but here we go: In addition to immigration that dont want to adapt to countries cultures and want to bring their own culture into the new countries.
Oh…so why are countries with short working hours and long vacations also having the same issues?
Different causes can lead to the same effect.

Its really funny and it could be true too:
Japan says one in 10 residents are aged 80 or above as nation turns gay
Wow, who could have seen it coming? I thought working yourself to death, never going on vacation and despising workers who become mothers was a great way to encourage people to have babies!
Japan’s proportion of elderly people is the highest in the world.
I can’t judge their personal life, you get old and you get to do what you want dems’ the rules.
I get the feeling people missed the joke.
Or it was just bad hard to say.
I misread gray and got really confused
Read it like 3 times and still took me seeing your comment to stop seeing gay
According to Google their average life expectancy is 84. So in the next few years they can lose 10% of their population. With birth rates so low would they even be able to make up for that?
Scotland is having a similar issue :-/ it’s to expensive to have children.

All these right wingers talking about population levels are unironically correct but they fail to see that it is directly related to the failure of public services and shite wages.
Make childcare public, enable stronger trade unions and watch us bust nuts.
Regarding the actual article, I have nothing to add that hasn’t been discussed already (and at this point I bet nobody will see this comment anyway). However, the specific grammar error in the title annoys me to no end, so I wanted to vent.
…one in 10 residents are…
It should be “…one in 10 residents is…”
People seem to forget how to conjugate after three words. Similarly, all too often I read something like, “None of these things are…” I don’t have an English degree, but in my mind parsing that phrase is like nails on a chalkboard.
For the 0 of you still reading, a tip: You can omit certain parts of the sentence - and expand others - to test how the subject-verb pair sounds.
“None of these things are…” -> “Not one
of these thingsare…” -> “Not one are…” Wtf??Anyway, thanks for listening to my
Ted TalkRalph Rant.“1 in 10 residents” does not refer to a person but a proportion of people, which is a plurality of people. Change it to “10% of residents” and it’s clear that 'are"is more gooder.
If you want to super expand it…
A proportion of 1 in 10 residents are…
Or
Proportionally 1 in 10 residents are…
Aaand also…
“are” acts on “residents”, not “1 in 10”. “1 in 10” is an adjective phrase. Residents is the noun.
Imagine being asked to work when you’re old and should be enjoying the last of your years.
I’m American, I don’t need to imagine.
Ok.
