Some Japanese researchers on Friday May 11th , expressing " population clock " that showed the country's people in theory could become extinct in 1,000 years due to declining birth rate .

Some of the academic community in the city of Sendai , northern Japan , said residents in the Japanese children , aged up to 14 years and now number 16.6 million , shrinking the number one in every 100 seconds .

Those prophecy pointing to the Japanese without a child in a millennium . " If this decline rate continues, we will be able to celebrate Children's Day on May 5, 3011 as a public holiday , because there would be only one child , " said Hiroshi Yoshida , economics professor at Tohoku University .

" But 100 seconds later there would be no child is left , " he said . " The overall trend toward extinction , which began in 1975 , when Japan's fertility rate fell below the two . "

Yoshida said he created the hour population in order to encourage discussion of " urgent " on the issue .
Another study earlier this year showed Japan's population is estimated to shrink so one-third the current number , 127.7 million , within a century .

Government projections show only the birth rate will reach 1.35 children per woman in 50 years , far below the replacement rate .

Meanwhile, life expectancy - which has become one of the highest in the world - is expected to increase from 86.39 years in 2010 to be 90.93 years in 2060 for women and 79.64 years from 84.19 years for men so .

More than 20 percent of Japan's population aged 65 years or more , one of the older people of the world's highest .

Population of gray make the headaches facing policy makers attempt to ensure the pool of workers who mix , stirring to pay the amount of retirees swell , according to the AFP - who monitored ANTARA here on Friday night.

But for most Japanese companies , the traditional age pyramid gives rollovers of commercial opportunities .

Unicharm said Friday the sale of adult pempers " little has been exceeded " pempers sales for the baby in the fiscal year through March , for the first time since the company entered the senior market .

The company began selling pempers for infants in 1981 and to mature in 1987 , spokesman Kazuya Kondo - are not willing to mention the specific amount of the sale.

Japan has very little immigration , and any suggestions regarding the opening of the border for young workers who can help close the gap population triggers strong reactions from the public .
