Number of new adults up slightly to 1.25 mil on New Year's Day

Considering its size Japan with its population of 126 million should stop complaining about the population shrinkage, It should instead adopt to the trend and find the way to reduce the dependance on the manual labor and rely more on the robots and Artificial Intelligence. Russian population is slightly higher than that of Japan spread over the 45 times larger area and even if half of it is consider to cold it is stil 25 times more land for the almost same population. Russian population is also ageing so if the can do without importing foreign labor Japan can do it to. Another country to look at is Canada, with barely over 30 million on a land 26 times of Japan.
