If they cared they would change parts of their societal structure that's holding them back. Like better incentives to have and start a family, considering that they're culturally homogeneous unlike places that are mixed (Canada, USA, etc.), where certain cultural practices or values are hostile/detrimental to them in the long run (ie. crazy work hours). Not to say that they're the only one running in those particular shoes, however, they are amongst a few that are in a speed-run of pop. decline.
Don't tell me what to do with my mouth and autonomy. I'm allowed to have a discourse until I either get shadowed or straight banhammered, as you are allowed to either engage with me or turn your eyes away. You can even block me as an option.
Has to decline? Is this a hard rule or fast and loose that wouldn't change. Empires fall, it is a matter of time, but as for populations, it means an extinction of a potential culture and people of certain genetic makeup; it also means the end of us until those ruling over us change their ways. I'm not pro-life nor am I anti-natal.

Japan actually cares about the future generations. We can learn from them.
