Hi Blog. Interesting podcasts from The Economist London (November 20, 2010) on how Japan’s economic future all comes down to demographics:<\/p>\n

Eight minutes:<\/p>\n

Economist Editor: “Unless Japan takes dramatic steps to reenergize its shrinking, greying workforce, its economy will suffer.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A special report on Japan<\/a><\/p>\n

12.5 minutes:<\/p>\n

Henry Tricks: “When I set about writing this report, I didn’t start out by looking at population decline. I looked at all the other problems… but everything seemed to come back down to demographics.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A special report on Japan <\/a><\/p>\n

My interpretation<\/strong>: There is no getting around immigration. NJ will come. Whether they find a weakened elderly population in the near future, or an empty island in the far future, they will come. They had better be made into Japanese or there will be no more Japanese.
