As much as it is hard to argue with cold statistical data, such a high percentage is rather hard to believe. 1% would be more believable.

For every 100 Japanese people in their 40s, there’s about 60-65 in their 20s. If the influx of foreign residents in their 20s even remains stable, the percentage will increase. It’ll be 1 in 5 in another 20 to 30 years if birth rates remain low.

We are going to see an increase in “great replacement”rhetoric moving forward, as it’s been an incredibly effective tool for far right wing party electoral success in Europe and the US. Already seeing the occasional media reference to 日本人置き換え. Sanseito will tie it back to Jews (あの勢力). That’s my bleak prediction, anyways.

That’s much lower than I expected tbh

Have the government even assembled a committee to discuss the potential of forming a taskforce to explore the consultation of experts on how to make people with virile loins and sturdy child bearing hips feel even slightly comfortable with regards to their financial situations?
Do the crusty old coots not even understand that a comfy nest makes people horny?

This number will most likely increase over the years as the government has shown no effective policies and the people no interest to change their behavior in a way that would prevent this.
It is what it is. Considering how this will also result in a bunch of half- or non-Japanese kids with citizenship (making them Japanese but you get what I’m trying to say) this will just be a huge cultural shift that will be very interesting to see develop over time. But make no mistake. It’s not anyone’s fault. It’s just gonna happen. I expect that the more people grow up in Japan with foreign roots, who get into government etc, the stance on foreigners will probably ease with it. This is just my opinion though so I may be wrong fwiw.
Oh and before someone gets the wrong idea: I have no problem with this. Demographics change. No ethnicity or culture has a guarantee of indefinite survival. Clinging to your pearls is just a disservice to the people of the future who will have other worries and things to do.

If you include things typical for that age bracket like:
* Foreign students
* Young people doing extended travel/gap year with a working visa
* People choosing to live and work in Japan for a few years
It actually doesn’t look like too much at all considering this behaviour is atypical of anyone over the age of 30 and are most likely to leave after 1-5 years
