少子高齢化社会（Aging society with fewer children）

歴史的な円高水準や、タイの洪水の影響を受け、これまでに決算を発表した企業の経常利益や税引き後利益は前年同期から大きく落ち込んだ。タイの工場が水没したホンダは、通期の業績予想を出せない事態となり、電子部品大手のＴＤＫは全世界のグループ全体の約１２％に相当する 約１万１０００人の人員削減を発表するなど、打撃が広がっている。
　ホンダの中間連結決算の営業利益は前年同期比８１・１％減の７５０億円だった。東日本大震災の影響で減産を強いられたのに加え、円高で営業利益が５２２億円押し下げられたためだ。
　さらに、タイの自動車工場が水没した影響が「数か月以上続く」との見通しを示した。為替相場の動向も見通しにくいため、２０１２年３月期の業績予想は「算定できない」として通期の業績予想を示さなかった。
　政府が為替介入をして円安に動いていますが、株価は逆に下げてしまった状況でしたね。こんな所にも、日本の国力低下を感じさせられますね。国力低下の原因は様々考えられるでしょうが、少子高齢化社会も大きな原因の一つでしょうね。65歳以上の人口の比率は全体の23％と世界で突出しています。少子高齢化の加速は労働力の減少、貯蓄率の低下、社会保障費の負担増など様々な側面で経済活動の制約となるでしょうね。 抜本的な改革が必要なのでしょうが、結局決定打はないまま下降をたどっていくのかもしれませんね。

Historically high and the yen, affected by floods in Thailand, ordinary income and profit after tax corporate earnings announced so far declined significantly from last year. Thai Honda submerged plants has become a full-year forecasts 出Senai situation, TDK electronic components such as giant announced 11,000 job cuts equivalent to approximately 12% of the total group worldwide, the widespread impact.

Although moving the yen exchange rate and government intervention, the situation was I had to lower stock prices and vice versa. Also in this place, I will feel the decline of the Japanese national power. Cause of the decline would be considered a national power is different, I would be one major reason for the aging society. Proportion of the population aged 65 or over and are projecting 23 percent of the world. Acceleration of the aging labor force, down, lower savings rate, I would be constrained in various aspects of economic activity such as increased burden of social security payments. You will need a fundamental reform, I might still not going to follow the downward end decisive.
