More people are coming to Metropolitan area



According to news, the number that the people who moved in exceeds the numbers who moved out by 110 thousand. Especially, Tokyo absorbs 70 thousand people. The trend continues in 19 consecutive years.

Thus, Tokyo and the neighbor prefectures gather many people from all over Japan. However, the birth rate of these area are extremely low. Tokyo’s birth rate hits 1.13. The rate means the number that a woman bears children in her entire life. Therefore, if the number is lower than 2.0, the population decrease.

This is very serious situation. Japan is shrinking.
