I'm not sure what their projected fertility rate is, but I do think it trends up a bit towards the end.<br /><br />You can't be sure of projections, but you do a better certainty of the numbers that are closer. I'd say that population decline is a given for the next decade or two. After that, we'll see.Alex Dalmadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04502544813279011007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011727801882113130.post-45105779102321344272010-05-07T17:25:13.050-04:002010-05-07T17:25:13.050-04:00you can never really know with assurance what the ...you can never really know with assurance what the fertility rate will be in five, ten, or twenty years from now. so, you have a relatively good idea what the population over 40 will be in 2050, but it's hard to predict the population under 40 in 2050. Japanese women could start having more babies, the fertility rate could rise to 1.5 or 1.7 or even 2.1 again. these are possibilities. the population will decline of course but at some point it will stop declining, i find it hard to believe that the population will dwindle down to two people and then zero people.Brad Hirschnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011727801882113130.post-11317374452576519322010-04-22T18:05:43.022-04:002010-04-22T18:05:43.022-04:00Kodak might yet succeed in transitioning to the di...Kodak might yet succeed in transitioning to the digital photography era. It is currently producing the full frame sensors for the very high end Leica cameras, with excellent results.

However, the Nikkei includes world class players that derive most of their sales and profits from outside Japan (Honda,Ajinomoto, Asahi, kikkoman, Mitsubishi, and yes Toyota,Sony, Nintendo among 200 more). Several of those companies are truly multinational and multicultural, they just happen to be listed in Tokyo.<br /><br />I think that the Nikkei could rise substantially. After all, its been trading within the current range for the last 20 years!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011727801882113130.post-80319854530655876292010-03-23T17:49:12.958-04:002010-03-23T17:49:12.958-04:00All growth based economies will ultimately end in ...All growth based economies will ultimately end in disaster, for the simple reason that the earth is finite in extent and growth cannot continue indefinitely. Western nations using immigration to prop up population face a future not unlike Rwanda at worst, or Hati at best, where people have exceeded the economic carrying capacity of their society<br /><br />The Japanese are showing us a way out of that nightmare. I hope the West can wake up from its politically correct stupor and listen. It is the Japanese way, or nightmarish chaos, but the human population must receed.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274256368082249568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011727801882113130.post-10608216589050775682010-03-23T10:48:21.201-04:002010-03-23T10:48:21.201-04:00The Japanese have tripled child benefits since 200...The Japanese have <a href="http://ukcommentators.blogspot.com/2010/03/there-is-no-finer-investment-for-any.html" rel="nofollow">tripled child benefits since 2007</a> in an attempt to get the horse back in the stable. But it'll take a long time for the effects to kick in.<br /><br />Japan is a fascinating control. All over Western Europe (and to a lesser extent the States) the natives have discovered that there are more fun things to do in life than raise children. But the existence of a welfare state is predicated on there being sufficient taxpayers to keep paying for tax recipients - and healthcare for the elderly is very expensive.<br /><br />So France and Holland import North Africans, Germany imports Turks and the UK imports Bangladeshis, both to boost the economy and to have the babies the locals can't be bothered to have. <br /><br />How this will work out remains to be seen, but it contrasts starkly with Japan's "we'll do it ourselves" attitude.Labanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031578024191117985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011727801882113130.post-4739139787049322982010-03-23T10:23:25.801-04:002010-03-23T10:23:25.801-04:00I would love to move my family of 5 & live in ...I would love to move my family of 5 & live in Japanese country side if the culture isn't so mono ethnic...
