Japan saw its third year in a row of population decline last year.

The number of residents dropped to 127,290,000.

Japan’s government says the country lost over a million wage earners in the year through October.

The number sank below 80 million for the first time in 32 years.

People 65 and over made up more than a quarter of the population, also for the first time.

Japan is struggling to come up with measures to support the world’s fastest-aging society.
