The number of births in Japan dropped to a new low in 2023, with more than twice as many deaths as new babies.

TOKYO - Japan’s plummeting birth rate has led a manufacturer of diapers to stop making them for babies at home and instead ramp up production for adults, the company said on March 26.

“Demand for baby diapers is decreasing because of factors including the falling birth rate,” a spokesman told AFP. They will continue to be sold in Japan until stocks run out.The spokesman said Oji Holdings will boost production of the sanitary items for adults in the country, anticipating their use mainly in facilities like nursing homes.
