According to a Kyodo News poll, approximately
two-thirds of people in Japan do not feel hopeful
that the government's policies will be effective.
The survey reportedly shows that
the number of children in Japan has
been declining for over forty years.
.
Fox News reports that the IPSS based
its report on factors like age of marriage
when estimating future fertility rates.
.
According to Miho Iwasawa, the IPSS's director of
population dynamics research, the decline in births can
be attributed to people getting married later in life.
The cost of raising children is also a factor.
Between 1975 and 2021, data shows that tuition
at private universities in Japan increased five-fold.
According to the IPSS, Japan's current
population of 126.15 million is projected
to drop to 87 million by the year 2070
Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will address the Republican-led US Congress on Thursday amid continued scepticism of the role of the US in international conflicts such as the Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars.

... "including cancer chemotherapy drugs and emergency medications stored in hospital crash carts and procedural areas." .
Abramowitz went on to say that the
"ongoing national shortages of therapies for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder also remain
a serious challenge for clinicians and patients.".
A separate ASHP report said that "the most severe and persistent shortages are driven by economic factors that undermine investment in manufacturing capacity, manufacturing quality and supply chain reliability.".
These economic challenges are
driven by extreme price competition
among generic manufacturers, ASHP, via report.
ASHP will continue to engage
with policymakers regularly as we guide
efforts to draft and pass new legislation
to address drug shortages and continue
to strongly advocate on behalf of our
members for solutions that work, ASHP CEO Paul Abramowitz, via statement.
Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a white paper recommending tactics for Congress to help.
With today’s white paper,
HHS offers solutions and stands
ready to work with Congress to
ensure no patient faces the devastating
consequences of drug shortages or
goes without needed medicines, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, via press release
