After showing a marginal rise to 13% in 2000, it is projected to remain same till 2050.

This rate fell to about 24% in 2000 and by 2050, it is forecast to significantly drop to about 19%.  The percentage of population in Japan went down by 1% in 2000 from 5% in 1950 and this rate is anticipated to fall further to 3% in 2050.
