Yes, there has been a dramatic increase in the suicide rates in Japan in recent years. This is mainly due to the high stress, long working hours and social isolation of many Japanese individuals. As a result, the population growth rate of Japan is predicted to go negative by 2060 – this is due to fewer Japanese people being born and higher suicide rates leading to less people in overall. To counter this trend, the Japanese government recently implemented initiatives and policy changes aimed at reducing mental stress as well as promoting healthier lifestyles; however more long-term solutions are necessary for reversing these worrisome population trends

Japan is currently facing an acute population crisis due to a lower birth rate and rapidly aging society. The country's overall fertility rate has reached an alarmingly low 1.42 (number of children born per woman), which is drastically lower than the required replacement level of 2.1 needed to maintain the population. As a result, the number of suicides in Japan have been steadily increasing - from 840,050 in 2012 to over one million in 20
