Japan's age distribution is quite different from that of the U.S. Not only is their baby boom about 10 years older than the U.S., but their "echo boom" is also about 10 years older. But in addition, the birth rate in Japan has fallen to a post-war low, and it keeps dropping. Unless Japan loosens its immigration policy, how could it regain its economic prominence, even in 2008?

The age distribution of European states follows that of the U.S. more closely, but, as in the case of Japan, the birth rate there has declined markedly over the past decade.

The U.S. birth rate, while lower than that of the early 90s, is close to its post-war average.
