Aakilah Brown on 17 Nov 15Japan's economy is another recession. Many economists believe that the amount of old people int he country could be causing this. Japan's GDP reduced by .8%. Japan has been having economic issues for many years now. Japan's demographics aren't benefiting the country's economy. Since there are more old people then young people in Japan this hurts their GDP. The old people's population is bigger and growing faster than the working population, so the workers cant produce enough to sustain a stable economy. The GDP is Japan suffers because of this.
