Marking another chapter in the curious case of Japan's population, newly released government figures have revealed the country's numbers fell for the fourth straight year.
The decline of 215,000 people between October 2013 and 2014 — which is 0.17% — has brought the population down to 127.083 million, its lowest point in 15 years.
新发布的政府数据披露日本人口连续第四年下降
2013年10月至2014年间减少的21.5万人——降幅0.17%——使得人口减至1.27083亿，为15年来的最低。
This means there were more than a million fewer Japanese residents in 2014 than there were at the country's population peak in 2008, according to statistics from the internal affairs and communication ministry.
With a consistently low birth-rate, Japan is witnessing an unprecedented aging of its population, and official projections foresee a further fall of 40 million by 2060.
这意味着日本2014年人口比2008年的高峰期减少了100多万。
随着出生率持续走低，日本见证了前所未有的人口老龄化。官方的预测预计到2060年，日本人口会进一步减少4000万。
以下是《印度时报》读者的评论：

I think Japanese desperately needs Sadhvi and BJP ministers there to preach about producing more kids per family!
我认为日本人迫切需要Sadhvi和人民党部长们过去宣传让每个家庭多生孩子！

This is due to highly mechanical lifestyle of the Japanese. They are disciplined workaholic and the modern day work pressure is depriving them of quality family time
这要归咎于日本人高度机械化的生活方式。
他们是训练有素的工作狂，现代生活的工作压力剥夺了他们高质量的家庭时光。

There was a report some time ago that in 2050, India will have the largest muslim population of the world.

At this rate, with more and more country's showing reduction in their population, looks like ultimately the world will be filled with only Indians....or more probably Muslims....Allah o Akbar....
照这么下去，随着越来越多国家的人口出现减少，看来最终填满世界的将是印度人...更多的可能是msl

Let them live on their way. Increasing or decreasing-they would think on it.
让他们照自己的方式生活吧。是增加人口还是减少人口，他们自有考量

At this moment Modiji should talk to his friend Japan PM to accept as much Indians as he wishes to raise Japan's declining population. It will certainly help the Indian economy.
莫迪姬应该对他的朋友日本首相说，让后者尽量多接收印度人，以满足日本增加人口的愿望。此举对印度经济必有帮助。leatherface (Texas) replies to bitterhoney6
Japan is not immigrant friendly. Its not so easy for a foreigner to become a Japanese citizen, though if schools in India start teaching Japanese instead of English what you suggest might become possible.
日本对移民可不友好，外国人要当日本公民可没那么简单。不过，如果印度学校开始教授日语，而不是英语，你说的或许有可能。
