What a Look Back at the Japanese Market Tells Us

The topic of mass immigration has been broached by some well-known politicians here in Japan. The reality of no children but near immortality is beginning to register in everyone's mind. Japanese emigrants (and their offspring) are allowed back, but it seems many of them (mostly Brazilian-Japanese) prefer to stockpile cash here then leave. I imagine more immigration will happen, but birth rates might start to increase as the pension system falters. Note that Japanese-foreign couples are more fecund, which might bring increasing acceptance for immigration as more half-Japanese (gads, that sounds so crass) are born and raised.
