Japan's policies against the Corona pandemic with the emphasis on demographic indicatorsJapan's policies against the Corona pandemic with the emphasis on demographic indicators

Japan accounts for about ۰.۳۳% of corona deaths and ۰.۸% of those infected with the virus, while its world share population is ۱.۶%. Despite high aging population, high urban density, and its proximity to China (the site of the outbreak), it has an acceptable epidemic control status compared to OECD countries due to some social and cultural characteristics. Although the Japanese government is constitutionally unable to declare provincial or national lockdown, it appears to have put appropriate measures and programs to control the disease. Border control measures, clustering approach, expert committee scenario planning, and overcoming challenges have all been cited by analysts such as Tashiro and Shaw (۲۰۲۰) and Wiki (۲۰۲۰). Despite the Japanese government's success in controlling the coronavirus, the long-term trend of some of Japan's demographic and economic indicators appears to have been affected by the corona pandemic. The ۹۳ percent share of people aged ۶۰ and over in total corona deaths, rising female suicide rates, declining marriages, and decreasing number of births are indicators that change the population pyramid in the country and could affect the Japanese economy in the future. In this study, while examining the policies adopted by the Japanese government, we intend to analyze the impact of the corona pandemic on the country's population pyramid.
