Japan in 2026

As of 2026, Japan counts an estimated 122,427,731 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 2016, the population was still 127,159,951; it has declined by 3.7% since. With a median age of 51.1 years, Japan has a youth dependency ratio of 18.8 and an old-age dependency ratio of 51.4 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
