According to the United Nations World Population Prospects 2024, the estimated population of Japan is 121,941,107, growing at an annual rate of -0.52%. That works out to a net change of approximately -1,779 people per day or -74 per hour.
The population change in Japan is driven by three components: approximately 748,163 births per year and 1,551,590 deaths per year, plus net migration. Together these components produce the overall growth rate of -0.52% per year.
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.
