Japan population shrank at fastest pace since WWII
Japan's population shrank last year at its fastest pace since the end of World War Two. This marks the 7th straight year of decline.
A health ministry survey shows that one million 31 thousand babies were born in 2013. That's down 6 thousand from the previous year and the fewest since the end of the war.
The estimate also shows one million 275 thousand people died last year. That's an increase of 19 thousand from the year before and the most after the war.
These figures show Japan's population dropped by 244 thousand last year.
Ministry officials add that 663 thousand couples got married, and 231 thousand couples got divorced last year.
This means one couple tied the knot every 48 seconds, while one couple terminated their marriage every 137 seconds.
The officials say Japan's population is projected to further decrease. The nation is aging, and the number of women of childbearing age is falling.
Abe resolved to revive economy, amend Constitution
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe released his New Year message on Wednesday. He says his government will do everything it can to overcome deflation and revitalize the economy. Abe also repeated his hope to amend the Constitution.
The prime minister says the government is still halfway to beating nearly 20 years of deflation. Abe said the government will continue to do its utmost to bring back a strong economy.
On the diplomatic and security fronts, Abe says Japan will play a more aggressive role in realizing peace and stability around the world. He says Japan should follow active pacifism in the 21st century.
Abe says it's necessary to deepen national discussions on revising the Constitution. Almost 68 years have passed since it was established.
The prime minister cited the 2011 disaster refugees spending the New Year in evacuation shelters for the third time. He says the government will redouble its effort to enable as many of the survivors as possible to live in new homes in 2015. He said the government will work toward allowing displaced residents of Fukushima to return to normal life at the earliest date possible.
