It's less "Japan's got higher" than "Japan's fell the slowest compared to other Asian countries"

Yeah, mostly because they've got no more births to reduce lol. Keep in mind these are the worst countries in Asia, though. There's still plenty that have decent birth rates (for now)

Yea I mentioned in another comment I should have clarified "east Asia" in the original comment. The rest of the southern and western asian continent have much higher birthrates.
