Exports fell drastically in 2009, pushing the debt to record levels. Once again, the recession is usually blamed. Due to economic troubles, other Asian countries stopped buying Japanese goods. Since 2009, things haven’t gotten much better. A major reason so many people are talking about economic catastrophe is the demographic situation in Japan. A disproportionate number of Japanese are over retirement age and this puts a burden on the country’s social security system. The birthrate is low and there’s little immigration. Japan is actually losing a million people each year.
