Japan births fall under 330,000 in Jan-June, down 6.3% from 2023 The number of births in Japan in 2024 is likely to fall under 700,000 for the first time after government data showed Tuesday that the figure in the first half fell 6.3 percent from a year earlier to 329,998. The figure for the first six months of this year, which does not include foreigners, reflects the birth rate remaining at record lows in the past years, as more people choose not to marry or delay marriage and having children until later in life. The number of deaths in the first half increased 1.8 percent from the same period last year to 800,274, and the natural decrease, subtracted from the number of births, stood at 470,276, according to the data from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Japan

শতাব্দীর সবচেয়ে বিধ্বংসী ভূমিকম্পের ‘সিঁদুরে মেঘ’, ভয়ে কাঁটা জাপান, জারি সতর্কতা সতর্কবার্তা পাওয়ার পরেই আতঙ্ক ছড়িয়ে পড়েছে দেশ জুড়ে। সকলেই আগামী কয়েক দিনের মতো রসদ মজুত করতে বেরিয়ে পড়েছেন রাস্তায়। কেউ কেউ আবার এই ক’টা দিনের জন্য নিরাপদ আশ্রয়ের খোঁজে হন্যে হয়ে ঘুরছেন। বৃহস্পতিবারই জোরালো ভূমিকম্পে কেঁপে উঠেছিল জাপান। এ বার তার তিন দিনের মাথায় ফের ভূকম্পনের সতর্কতা জারি করল জাপান। পরিস্থিতি এমনই যে, বাধ্য হয়ে বিদেশ সফর বাতিল করেছেন জাপানের প্রধানমন্ত্রী ফুমিও কিশিদাও। ©BANGLE TIMES #Japan

It's time to consider a woman to take Japan's top job Warning: What follows is pure speculation, untainted by “informed sources in Nagatacho” or a lifetime of study of the intricacies of habatsu (factions) in the Liberal Democratic Party or the genealogy of Japanese politicians. Battered by scandal, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida plumbs new depths of unpopularity. His survival as president of the ruling-LDP Party defies laws of political gravity. Really, Aoki’s law, named after former Chief Cabinet Secretary Mikio Aoki, postulates that a Japanese government’s days are numbered when the sum of the Cabinet's job approval rating and the ruling party's support rate falls below 50%. According to a Jiji Press poll released Dec. 14, the Kishida Cabinet's approval was 17.1% and the LDP claimed just 18.3% support. Even I can figure out that those numbers add up to considerably less than 50%. Those numbers are bad, but they aren’t outliers: A Nikkei-TV Tokyo poll released Dec. 17 had Cabinet support dropping to 26%, while that of the LDP fell four points to 30%. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Japan

Japan's July core consumer prices up 2.7% on higher energy costs Japan's core consumer prices rose 2.7 percent in July from a year earlier, with the rate of increase expanding for the third straight month as energy costs were pushed up following a termination of government subsidies, data by the internal affairs ministry showed Friday. The increase in the nationwide core consumer price index, excluding volatile fresh food, followed a 2.6 percent rise in June. The inflation rate has remained at or above the Bank of Japan's 2 percent target since April 2022. Core-core CPI, which strips away both energy and fresh food and shows underlying price trends, was up 1.9 percent. The results underscore ongoing inflation, which has weighed on Japanese households. A weaker yen has also pushed up import prices from food to energy. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Japan
