Lessons From Japan’s Demographic Collapse

Japan is no longer the fastest aging society, but it remains the world’s oldest. So, they’re putting in the legwork to buy themselves some time. They’ve shifted production toward allied countries with stronger demographics and built themselves a strong navy, enabling them to project power should the need arise.

But the Japanese aren’t the only people getting older. This is a global issue, and the timing couldn’t be worse. As the world deglobalizes, societies that are unable to adapt and secure trade access through strong alliances will struggle to survive. And the next generation of kids (however small that cohort might be) will be studying those countries in the history books.
