Japan in Recession Again?!! But how?

[dprox]

Japan has a stagnant population. Moreover, the median age is getting older, which means that the percentage of the working population vs the retirees/dependents is getting smaller.
To attain economic growth, you need a growing work force. More work force, more consumer spending.

Tumpak yan, david! What was once the rising sun will eventually set. And what we are seeing now are just in-between events.
Japan's population growth rate started declining in 1975 and is hitting zero this year. That means that the actual population nosedive begins this year. Yup. What went up ... will go down.
