The population decline in Japan between 2012 and 2021 was 2.2 million people. To calculate the percentage decline, you can use the formula: ((population in 2012 - population in 2021)/population in 2012) * 100. This information could be used to lead to policy decisions in areas such as immigration by highlighting the need to increase immigration to offset the declining population and support economic growth.
