Japan has a shrinking population as its birth rates are low and Japanese tend to leave the country to find jobs elsewhere.
A projection shows that the country’s population could shrink by tens of millions by 2065. To counter the population decrease, some suggest immigration could be a solution.
But the Japanese clearly don’t want more migration into the country. Last year the country accepted only 20 of about 20,000 asylum requests by refugees and 45 people were allowed to stay on humanitarian grounds.
A poll carried out earlier this year showed that 58 per cent of Japanese don’t want more migration and 13 per cent want even less migration into the country.
With 71 per cent, the Japanese overwhelmingly support the idea of not accepting more than 65 refugees per year and 13 per cent want even fewer.
Japan, as being a homogenous country barely have troubles with no-go zones, terrorism or radicalisation.
