尽管日本政府正在加大力度提高国家的低生育率，但日本的本土人口仍以每小时近100人的速度在减少。 6park.com 6park.comAccording to official data released on Friday, the number of Japanese nationals dropped by the biggest amount in a year since comparable records began in 1950 — a fall of 837,000 in the 12 months to October 1 2023. 6park.com根据上周五公布的官方数据，自1950年有可比记录以来，日本国民人数在一年内创下了最大降幅——在截至2023年10月1日的12个月内减少了83.7万人。 6park.com 6park.comThat decline represents a daily drop of 2,293 people, or just under 96 per hour. 6park.com这一下降代表着每天减少了2,293人，也就是说每小时减少了不到96人。 6park.com 6park.comThe same report, published by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, showed Japan’s overall population was 124.3mn in October — down 595,000 from the previous year when adjusted for steadily rising levels of migrant workers, overseas students and foreign permanent residents. 6park.com日本总务省发布的同一份报告显示，考虑到外籍劳工、海外学生和外国永久居民人数的稳步增长，日本在10月份的总人口为1.243亿，比上一年减少了59.5万人。 6park.com 6park.comIn a report released last year, the country’s Immigration Services Agency said the number of foreign nationals living in Japan had reached a record high of 3.2mn at the end of June 2023. The increase was driven by expansion in a visa programme for skilled workers in specified sectors and in technical internships. 6park.com日本移民服务机构在去年发布的一份报告中指出，截至2023年6月底，居住在日本的外国人数量已创纪录地达到320万人。这一增长主要由特定行业的熟练工人签证计划扩大和技术实习项目推动。 6park.com 6park.comThe record drop in the number of Japanese nationals marked the 13th consecutive year of decline for a nation that has led the developed world in population contraction and ageing, and whose demographic patterns are increasingly being followed by other nations in Asia and beyond. 6park.com日本国民数量的创纪录下降，标志着这个国家连续第13年人口减少，老龄化问题日益严重。日本在人口萎缩和老龄化方面一直领先于发达国家，其人口模式正日益受到亚洲和其他地区国家的效仿。 6park.com 6park.comJapan’s latest population numbers followed the release in February of a preliminary tally of the number of babies born in 2023: a record low of 758,631, down 5.1 per cent from the previous year. 6park.com日本最新的人口数据在今年2月公布2023年出生婴儿数量的初步统计之后发布：该年度出生婴儿数量创下历史新低，为758,631人，比上一年下降了5.1%。 6park.com 6park.comIn its most recent forecasts, Japan’s National Institute of Population and Social Security Research (IPSS) had expected the number to fall to 755,000 by 2035, suggesting the rate of decline is now far quicker than expected. 6park.com日本国立人口社会保障研究所(IPSS)在其最新预测中表示，到2035年，这一数字将降至755,000，这表明当前的下降速度远超预期。 6park.com 6park.comThe latest data adds to an already very top-heavy population pyramid, with historic distortions at both ends. The number of under-15s in Japan is at a record low of 11.4 per cent of the overall population, while the number of over-65s is at a record high of 29.1 per cent. 6park.com最新的数据进一步加剧了日本已经非常顶重底轻的人口金字塔，两端都出现了历史性的扭曲。日本15岁以下的人口比例创下历史新低，仅占总人口的11.4%，而65岁以上的人口比例则创下历史新高，达到29.1%。
