Japan to Combat Population Decline with Robots

Japan will lose 50% of its population in the next 50 years

Its' solution? Humanoid robots.

Japan plans on remaining Japan far into the future. With a low birth rate and a declining population, Japan could lose 50% of its population in the next 50 years. Japan aging population explodes while birth rates drop. 

To keep its economy going and social services from collapsing, it will need an influx of workers. But instead of importing foreigners from far off lands, Japan will turn to its technical prowess and fascination with robots to attempt to fill the massive void. 

As a world leader in robot development, combined with its shortage of labor, Japan is and will be the perfect robot laboratory.
