Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 748,163 people are born in Japan each year. That works out to roughly 2,050 births per day, 85 per hour, or approximately one person every 42.15 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.
The crude birth rate in Japan is approximately 6.1 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.23 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of Japan would decline over the long term without net immigration.
In addition to births, approximately 1,551,590 deaths occur in Japan each year, resulting in a natural decrease of approximately 803,427 people per year.
