Is the Country Growing or Shrinking?

  • Japan's population is slowly shrinking as can be inferred by the fact that the total fertility rate (TFR) is only 1.21 (in most cases, it must be over 2 for there to be any population growth). The growth rate is -0.191% (Ranks 218th in the world).
  • India's population is rapidly increasing. The growth rate is 1.548% (Ranks 84th in the world behind other Asian, African, and South/Central American Countries). India's total fertility rate is 2.72 children born/ woman.
