Japan's population crisis is often discussed as a set of statistics, but Last Generation of Japan shows why it is really a story about how a society works, and what happens when the assumptions behind everyday life begin to disappear. Nathaniel Crowe examines the country's demographic collapse with journalistic clarity, tracing the postwar baby boom, the long decline in births, and the social and economic consequences that have followed. From labor shortages and strained public finances to long-term care, local services, and the changing shape of family life, the book reveals how population decline creates a chain reaction across institutions and communities. It also explores the deeper forces behind the birthrate drop, including the cost of childrearing, work culture, gender inequality, and shifting attitudes toward marriage and autonomy. Grounded in Japan's experience but relevant far beyond it, this is a timely and thought-provoking account of decline, adaptation, and the choices that may determine whether advanced societies can reinvent themselves.
