I enlarge the field of vision in the world（視野を世界に広げる）

As for the population (as of April 1) of the child that laying upon, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications announced 4th in "Children's Day" of 5th younger than 15 years by estimate, it was with 16,650,000 people that I decreased by 120,000 compared with the previous year.
After 1950 that I could compare, the numerical decrease of the child updated the minimum record for 31 consecutive years.
The ratio of child among the total population (127,650,000) decreases for 38 consecutive years with 13.0% of the 0.1 points decrease compared with the previous year, too, and the brake does not work for progress of the declining birthrate.
The population younger than 15 years is 8,520,000 boys, girl 8,120,000. By the age stratification, as for 6,710,000 people, 3-5 years old, 3,210,000 people, 0-2 years old were 3,160,000 people 3,570,000 people, a primary schoolchild (6-11 years old) a junior high student (12-14 years old).
The ratio of child of the metropolis and districts distinction (as of October 1, last year) had most 17.7% of Okinawa and was followed by 14.9% of Shiga. It is Akita, 11.3% of Tokyo at least. It was only Tokyo and Fukuoka the number of children of to have increased from the last year. Even if the government carries out various measures, a brake does not work for declining birthrate either. In contrast, it causes a decline of the strength of a nation when I do not deal early, and it will be in a situation that the administrative service is not received. An adult must make the environment where environment and children who want to bring up a child can describe a dream in. It may be to be time when an adult gets away from Japan and pays more attention to the world greatly.


 ５日の「こどもの日」にあわせ、総務省が４日発表した１５歳未満の子供の推計人口（４月１日現在）は、前年比１２万人減の１６６５万人となった。
　比較可能な１９５０年以降、子供の数の減少は３１年連続で、最少記録も更新した。
　総人口（１億２７６５万人）に占める子供の割合も、前年比０・１ポイント減の１３・０％と３８年連続で低下し、少子化の進行に歯止めは掛かっていない。
　１５歳未満の人口は男子８５２万人、女子８１２万人。年齢層別では、中学生（１２～１４歳）が３５７万人、小学生（６～１１歳）が６７１万人、３～５歳は３２１万人、０～２歳が３１６万人だった。
　都道府県別（昨年１０月１日現在）の子供の割合は沖縄県の１７・７％が最も多く、滋賀県の１４・９％がこれに続いた。最低は秋田県、東京都の１１・３％。前年より子供の数が増えたのは、東京都と福岡県だけだった。政府も様々な施策を実行してはいるのでしょうが少子化にも歯止めが効かないですね。これに対しても早く対処していかないと国力の低下を招き、行政のサービスも受けられない状況になっていくでしょうね。子どもを育てていきたい環境や子ども達が夢を描ける環境を大人が創っていかなければならないですね。大人が日本を抜けだして世界に大きく目を向けていく時なのかもしれませんね。
