The number of children in Japan aged 14 and under is the lowest ever. Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications released figures yesterday, just before the country's Children's Day national holiday on May the 5th. The figures show that the number of children in Japan fell by 160,000 from the previous year. It is the 33rd year in a row for the birth rate to decrease. There are 13 million fewer children in Japan today than there were in 1950. The Ministry said that out of 30 countries with a population of over 40 million, Japan has the smallest percentage of kids. Children make up 12.8 per cent of Japan's population. In France, the figure is 18.5 per cent and in the United States, it is 19.5 per cent.

在日本,14歲及以下的兒童數(shù)量是最低的。日本內(nèi)部事務(wù)和通訊部昨天發(fā)布了數(shù)據(jù),正值日本國家節(jié)日5月5日兒童節(jié)的前一天。數(shù)據(jù)顯示,日本的兒童人數(shù)比前一年減少了160,000人。這是連續(xù)33年出生率創(chuàng)的新低。日本現(xiàn)在的兒童數(shù)量比1950年減少了1,300萬。外交部說,在人口超過4,000萬的30個國家當(dāng)中,日本是兒童占人口比例最小的國家。兒童數(shù)量占日本人口的12.8%。在法國,這個數(shù)字是18.5%,在美國,它是19.5%。

While the number of children in Japan is going down, the number of old people is increasing. The over-65s now make up a record 25.6 per cent of the Japanese population. The government has warned that these trends will continue for decades to come. It said the proportion of people aged 65 or over could reach nearly 40 per cent in 2060. This will make life in Japan almost impossible for young, working people. They will have to pay much higher taxes to support the over-65s. The Japanese economy will also be in big trouble because there will not be enough young people to work. Japan's government has tried many things to get people to have more babies, but nothing seems to be working.

而日本的兒童數(shù)量一直在下降,老年人的數(shù)量正在增加?,F(xiàn)在日本65歲以上的人口占25.6%。政府已經(jīng)警告說,這些趨勢將持續(xù)幾十年。它說65歲或以上的人口比例將達(dá)到2060年的近40%。這將使得日本的年輕人和工薪階層的生活很困難。他們將不得不支付更高的稅收來供養(yǎng)65歲以上的老人。日本經(jīng)濟也將陷入嚴(yán)重的困境,因為沒有足夠數(shù)量的年輕人來工作。日本政府嘗試了很多方法來讓人們生更多的孩子,但是效果不大。
