Developed countries, including Japan, Russia and France, have seen population declines as well. With this trend, the working population will start to decrease starting in 2016.
The implications of aging and declining population are serious. With an insufficient labor force to support the growing elderly population, pension costs will go up and tax revenues will go down. Globally, the population imbalance increases the chance of a budget crisis, which we already struggle to handle.
