🚨🇯🇵 JAPAN ON TRACK FOR ‘EXTINCTION’ Japan’s birthrate crisis hit red alert, with Tohoku University’s Hiroshi Yoshida warning the country could literally vanish by 2720 - leaving just one child under 14. A 2.3% drop in kids has sped up doomsday projections by 100 years, as deaths outpace births by nearly a million a year. With 30% of Japan over 65, youth locked out of marriage, and a crushing recession, Yoshida says Japan could be the first to disappear. Tokyo’s scrambling: dating apps, cash perks, four-day workweeks, and relaxed immigration laws - tripling foreign workers by 2040 - are all on the table.
