I studied population modules at both GCSE and AS level in my geography lessons and found it to be very interesting. So when I saw the BBC were showing a documentary about Japan's population shrinking in size, I was very intrigued to find out why. It was a fascinating programme which I would urge everyone to watch, as this situation is so different to those seen in most of the world and their are situations present which we can only comprehend.
Below is a link to watch the programme via YouTube as it is no longer available on BBC iPlayer:
The most shocking fact I learnt from this documentary is that thee size of the Japanese population is predicted to decrease by a third in the next 40-50 years. This would have catastrophic effects on a global scale and therefore this issue must be corrected as soon as possible.
If you do watch this documentary, let me know your thoughts on the Japanese population size and whether it can be a beneficial thing too.
