After years, if not decades, of warnings about Japan's aging population and its low birth rate, the day is here. Japan's official census shows that the country's population has shrunk. And not by an inconsiderable amount either: The 2010 census showed a population of 128,057,352, but the 2015 figure, released Friday, shows just 127,110,000. Japan's population had shrunk by almost 1 million people in five years.
That will keep us as the third most populous country on the planet, behind only China (1.35 billion) and India (1.23 billion). Overall, the world population will top 7.1 billion at the start of 2014. The precise figure â 317,297,938 â will mark an increase of 2,218,622 people in the 365 days since 2012 passed into 2013.
