Population.
Japan is in stage five of the demographic transition model because the birth rate begins to decline while the death rate remains the same. A declining birth rate can be due to many things, such as children simply being too expensive to have or the adults wanting to pursue a career instead of being trapped by their children. Another reason is because of the high amount of elderly in the country, the young adults are having to care for them and resulting in not enough time or money for one child, let alone a large family.
