Population Growth Rate Map of Japan, South Korea & Taiwan
Some countries in East Asia are having population growth rates lowering rapidly. The most severe one being Japan, which already have their total population declining since 2010. Taiwan & South Korea are also estimated to join the decline trend in 2022 and 2024. To dig in further, I gathered pop data & made this map to show the population increasing & declining areas within these 3 countries.
