Is a nation’s destiny set by its fertility rates? Japan has the world’s oldest【C1】________but Japanese longevity can’t【C2】________for its extremely-low fertility rate—just 1.4 children per woman. One in four don’t have children. Some European countries also have low fertility rates, but top up【C3】________mi-grants. Japan does not.
The conventional view is that this is bad news: shrinking numbers【C4】________economic growth and the aging population is a major【C5】________burden.
But there is another【C6】________The proportion of Japan’s population has almost twice as many over-65s as children.【C7】________Japan spends less on education. And because the Japanese are the world’s healthiest, care【C8】________are also lower than in other nations.
Japan’s economy has been growing slowly for two decades now. But【C9】________the falling population, individual income has been【C10】________strongly-outperforming most US citizens’.
With 127 million people, Japan is【C11】________empty. But fewer people in future will mean it has more living space, more agricultural land per head, and a higher quality of life. Its【C12】________on the planet for food and other【C13】________will also lessen.

But the global population is increasing slowly. The world recently reached "peak child" —the point【C17】________the number of children aged 0 to 14 around the globe【C18】________off. Global fertility rates have halved in 40 years—they are now below 2.5 children per woman—and global population may peak soon. Some believe that peak population is a【C19】________first step to reducing our【C20】________on the planet’s life-support systems. In that case, following Japan’s example may be just the ticket.
【C16】
