How Japan deals with its birth rate hitting a record low | DW News

With birth rates dropping in Japan, a company there has announced it is stopping production of diapers for babies --- as demand is not as high anymore. Instead, it's refocusing on the growing market: diapers for adults. It's a surprising piece of data that shines a light on a serious problem. The number of births in Japan dropped to a new low last year, with more than twice as many deaths as new babies born. If things continue like that, Japan's population could shrink by 30 percent over the next 45 years. The country explores some futuristic solutions to its demographic crisis. 0:58 DW speaks to Jennifer Robertson, professor of anthropology and history of art at the University of Michigan and the author of the book "Robo sapiens japanicus: Robots, Gender, Family, and the Japanese Nation” #japan #birthrate #demographics Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutsche...
