Overpopulation in Japan
35
Transcript
Moving-Out Policy
Why This Is A Bad Idea
- Government pays citizens to move from Japan
- Pays 40,050,000 yen ($400,500) to move
- Need at least one-fourth population to move
- Restricted to move only to US, China, or South Korea
Horrible living conditions for citizens
People will spend too much money
Underground Living
- Living in sewage systems
- 100 yen (equivalent to 1 USD) per sewage house + 500 yen per person
- High taxation on food, clothing, and house
Why This Is The Best Choice
- Even if the government pays money, still enough people to support Japan
- More accommodation for people staying
- Emigrants are provided with a new life
Why This Is A Bad Idea
- The birth rate of Japan (1.29 children per woman) is lower than China’s (1.67 children per woman)
- Unfair for fathers/husbands
- Immoral for infanticide and abortion
Overpopulation in Japan
What Will Happen With The Solution
One-Child Policy
- The population and population density decreases
- The disease spread decreases
- Less accidents
- More space for living
- Emigrants will spread the Japanese culture
Limit amount of children per household to ONE
Infanticide and abortion
If more than one child per household, the man has to pay twice his salary
Only children of politicians, celebrities, and entertainers will be spared
By: Alanis Roman and Stacey Jose (2B)
Possible Solutions
- China's One-Child Policy
- Underground Living
- Moving-Out Policy
The Problems
Overpopulation leads to:
- Cramped living
- Average size of a residence in Tokyo is 980 square ft. (31 ft. by 31 ft.)
- Quick spread of disease
- Lack of natural resources (food, water, fuel, wood, etc.)
- Not enough jobs to support growing population
- Which leads to a declining economy and rising unemployment rate
- Lack of transportation
- Most people travel through public transportation (trains, buses, etc.)
- Since there are not enough of these, they are normally packed with people, which can again lead to spread of disease.
Why Is This An Issue?
- In addition to causing bad living conditions for the Japanese people, eventually it will become physically impossible for the land to hold its people.
- It is happening not only in Japan, but also in:
- China
- India
- Singapore
- Taiwan
- South Korea

Japan Facts
- Population of 127.6 million people
- One of most populous countries in the world (ranked 11th )
- Tokyo is most populated city in the world (9 million)
- Japan has the highest population density (873.1 people per square km)
- Average size of a residence in Tokyo is 980 square ft. (31 ft. by 31 ft.)
To make a comparison:
- Japan, with a population of 127.6 million people, is about the same size as the state of California, that has a population of only 38 million people.
