Maybe they should try working their young workforce more hours? That'll surely get them to have kids
- The old people are not gone. Japan is the society with the oldest average age. One in three people there are over 65.

Ummmmmm. So yeah I have not clicked to read the article but im like pretty sure tokyo is in the millions. I have not done a search for it yet but im like sure on the level that its in millions that its hard to bother putting it into a search engine. I mean its bigger than chicago. EDITED - read the article and LOL I read it as drops to 800k not drops by 800k. Its really funny if your in my head right now.
