Japan "could effectively disappear by 2200 as a nation."

In 700 years, "there will be no more Japanese."

"Japan will perish by about 2056 because men are refusing to have intimate relationships with the women."

"The country's population will be just 500 by the year 3000, and just one by 3500."

"Within the next 1,750 years, the Japanese people could be no more."

"Japan may become the first country to become extinct due to the declining birth rate."

The global population aged 65 and over is projected to grow from 852 million in 2025 to 2 billion by 2060, representing roughly 55% of all net global population growth over that period, as the world's total population rises from 8.13 billion to 10.23 billion.

South Korea, where 20.3% of the population was aged 65 or over in 2024, is projected to become the world's oldest country by 2060, with that share rising to 41% and surpassing Japan. Europe's share of older adults is expected to rise from 21% to nearly 31% over the same period.
