The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Japan was worth 4026.21 billion US dollars in 2024, according to official data from the World Bank. The GDP value of Japan represents 3.79 percent of the world economy. This dataset provides - Japan GDP - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

The statistic shows the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Japan from 1987 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2024, the estimated gross domestic product per capita in Japan was around 32,498.15 U.S. dollars. For further information, see Japan's GDP. Japan's economy Japan is the world’s second largest developed economy and a member of the Group of Eight, also known as G8, which is comprised of the eight leading industrialized countries. Due to a weak financial sector, overregulation and a lack of demand, Japan suffered substantially from the early 1990s until 2000, a time referred to as ‘’The Lost Decade’’. Japan’s economy is still slowly recovering from the country’s asset price bubble collapse; however it continues to struggle to retain economic milestones achieved in the 1980s. Japan’s response to the crash was to stimulate the economy, which in turn resulted in extensive amounts of debt that further increased into the 21st century, most notably after the 2008 financial crisis. Despite maintaining a surprisingly low unemployment rate, demand within the country remains inadequate, primarily because Japanese residents spend a rather small fraction of the money they earned from the workplace. Lower demand often has a direct effect on production, with companies seeing not enough profits to continue production at such a high rate. Based on the consumer confidence index, Japanese households found that their quality of life, income growth, employment and propensity to durable goods was below satisfactory standards, perhaps due to these households still experiencing the effects of the 1990s bubble crash.

Inflation Rate in Japan decreased to 3.30 percent in June from 3.50 percent in May of 2025. This dataset provides the latest reported value for - Japan Inflation Rate - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term prediction, economic calendar, survey consensus and news.

This survey was designed to solicit political, sociological, and economic information from people living in Japan. The data were collected between October 3 and November 3, 2006, using face-to-face interviews and self-administered questionnaires. Respondents were asked to give employment information for themselves and their spouses, including industry, size of employer, number of hours worked, level of job satisfaction, and time spent commuting. Respondents were also queried regarding employment information and education level of their parents when the respondent was aged 15. Several questions were asked about household composition, the type of residence, the state of respondents' finances during the last few years and compared to other Japanese families both past and present, sources of financial support, the ease of improving one's standard of living in Japan, and the use of credit cards and consumer financing. Views were also sought on divorce, the roles of each spouse, issues involving children, the responsibility of the government, and taxation issues. In terms of health, questions were asked regarding the physical and mental health of respondents and their household members, the frequency of smoking and alcohol consumption, and their views on genetically modified foods. Quality of life questions addressed the amount of satisfaction respondents received from life, and how often they participated in sports, leisure, and volunteer activities. Additional topics covered were euthanasia, the use of technology, juvenile delinquency, car ownership and usage, their level of trust in various institutions, and whether respondents belonged to religious, trade, or social service organizations. Demographic variables include age, sex, education level, employment status, occupation, labor union membership, marital status, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), household income, perceived social status, political orientation, political party affiliation, and religious affiliation.

The Japan condominiums and apartments market, valued at approximately ¥20 trillion (assuming a market size of "XX" represents a significant figure in the Japanese real estate sector, and ¥20 trillion is a plausible estimate given the scale of the Japanese economy) in 2025, exhibits a steady Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.60%. This growth is fueled by several key drivers. Firstly, Japan's urban population continues to concentrate in major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, increasing demand for compact yet modern housing solutions offered by condominiums and apartments. Secondly, a robust economy and increasing disposable incomes are enabling more individuals to afford higher-quality housing, fueling market expansion. Furthermore, government initiatives aimed at improving urban infrastructure and promoting sustainable housing developments are also positively influencing market growth. However, challenges remain, including the high cost of land in major cities, potentially limiting supply and pushing prices upward. Stringent building codes and environmental regulations, while important for sustainability, also add to development costs. The market is segmented by type, with condominiums and apartments representing the primary categories, each catering to different consumer preferences and budgetary considerations. The competitive landscape includes both large-scale developers like Sekisui House Limited and Sumitomo Forestry's Co Ltd, and smaller, specialized builders focusing on niche markets. The forecast period of 2025-2033 projects continued growth, albeit at a rate influenced by macroeconomic factors like interest rates and economic volatility. While the CAGR of 4.60% provides a baseline, fluctuations around this figure are anticipated. The consistent demand for housing in Japan's urban centers, combined with ongoing investment in infrastructure development, suggests that the market will remain resilient in the long term. However, developers must adapt to changing consumer preferences—emphasizing sustainable designs, smart home technologies, and flexible living spaces—to maintain competitiveness and capitalize on the growth potential. A deeper understanding of regional variations within Japan, particularly concerning population density and economic conditions, will be crucial for targeting specific market segments effectively. Recent developments include: Dec 2022: Nippon House Holdings Co. Ltd launched the "Japanese House/Hinoki House" series with 15 types of exterior design., Oct 2022: Asahi Kasei Homes concluded an agreement to acquire 100% ownership of Focus Plumbing LLC, Focus Framing, Door & Trim LLC, Focus Electric LLC, Focus Concrete LLC, and Focus Fire Protection LLC (collectively referred to as "Focus Companies"), a Nevada-based residential plumbing, framing, electric, concrete, and fire protection group, on October 14, 2022 (US Eastern time), through a US subsidiary, and completed the acquisition.. Notable trends are: Japan’s Shrinking Population is Producing a Surplus of Housing.

The statistic shows the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States from 1987 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. The gross domestic product of the United States in 2024 amounted to around 29.18 trillion U.S. dollars. The United States and the economy The United States’ economy is by far the largest in the world; a status which can be determined by several key factors, one being gross domestic product: A look at the GDP of the main industrialized and emerging countries shows a significant difference between US GDP and the GDP of China, the runner-up in the ranking, as well as the followers Japan, Germany and France. Interestingly, it is assumed that China will have surpassed the States in terms of GDP by 2030, but for now, the United States is among the leading countries in almost all other relevant rankings and statistics, trade and employment for example. See the U.S. GDP growth rate here. Just like in other countries, the American economy suffered a severe setback when the economic crisis occurred in 2008. The American economy entered a recession caused by the collapsing real estate market and increasing unemployment. Despite this, the standard of living is considered quite high; life expectancy in the United States has been continually increasing slightly over the past decade, the unemployment rate in the United States has been steadily recovering and decreasing since the crisis, and the Big Mac Index, which represents the global prices for a Big Mac, a popular indicator for the purchasing power of an economy, shows that the United States’ purchasing power in particular is only slightly lower than that of the euro area.

In 2023, the average size per dwelling in Japan was ***** square meters. When broken down by prefecture, ****** stood out as the prefecture with the largest average floor area per housing unit, while ***** had the smallest average floor area in the same year. Real estate in Japan The real estate industry is an important pillar of the Japanese economy and ranked as the third-largest industry in Japan in terms of value added in 2022. Despite this, the number of unoccupied dwellings in Japan has been steadily increasing for over thirty years. Many unoccupied homes are empty and abandoned. This trend can be attributed to two primary factors: the aging of the population and the challenges faced by empty house owners in managing and utilizing properties, as most of these homes are either managed by older individuals or family inheritance. Housing in Tokyo The monthly residential property price index in Tokyo Prefecture has experienced a significant upward trend in the past years. Tokyo holds the largest population in Japan, with approximately ** million inhabitants, making it the world’s largest urban agglomeration. The city’s appeal lies in its many renowned universities and corporate headquarters, which draws migrants from other prefectures, particularly young individuals. However, Japan is currently experiencing an investment boom in real estate, fueled by overseas investment. This has resulted in central Tokyo apartments becoming less affordable for many people.

This survey was designed to solicit political, sociological, and economic information from people living in Japan. Respondents were queried on crime and the judicial system, and more specifically, on issues such as the death penalty, juvenile punishment, and whether respondents were victims of various crimes within the last year. Questions on family issues covered topics such as divorce, the health of respondents' marriages, the roles of each spouse, and issues involving children. Questions on finances included the state of respondents' finances during the last few years and compared to other Japanese families both past and present, whether the income tax rate was high, and the ease of improving one's standard of living in Japan. Political questions addressed government spending, the responsibility of the government, and whether respondents would vote for a woman gubernatorial candidate. Also, respondents were asked to rate their political views on a scale from Conservative (1) to Progressive (5). In terms of health, questions were asked on the health of respondents and their spouses, the topic of euthanasia, donation cards, and the frequency of smoking and alcohol consumption. Quality of life questions addressed the frequency with which respondents read the newspaper, watched television, the amount of satisfaction respondents received from life, and how often respondents participated in leisure activities like fishing, jogging, mahjong, etc. Respondents were asked to give their opinions concerning extra-marital affairs, sexual relations between two adults of the same sex, pornography and prostitution. Information gathered on religion included the extent of their participation in a particular religion, whether respondents believed in life after death and views on burial. Respondents were polled for information regarding their social status and whether respondents were members of any groups including religious, trade, or social service organizations. Demographic information included age, sex, employment status, marital status, household income, and religious orientation.

Objectives: Preemptive conversations (PCs) about end-of-life (EOL) preferences are beneficial for both elderly people and their families to understand and share the preferences. However, the factors which promote/inhibit PCs have yet to be clarified. We therefore aimed to determine the factors related to having PCs with hypothesis that age, subjective economic status and subjective health status are associated with having PC experience. Design: A cross-sectional study administering a questionnaire and using stratified random sampling by gender and region. Setting: Residents aged 65 years or older who were not receiving nursing care as of November 1, 2016, were extracted from the Japanese long-term care insurance system registry in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Participants: 1,575 participants (717 males and 858 females). Outcome: Presence or absence of PC experience with family or friends (yes/no). Results: The mean age of the participants was 74.0 years. A multivariable logistic-regression analysis revealed that having PC experience was significantly associated with gender (OR = 1.907; 95% CI = 1.556, 2.337; p < 0.001), subjective economic status (OR = 0.832; 95% CI = 0.716, 0.966; p=0.016), and subjective happiness (OR = 0.926; 95% CI = 0.880, 0.973; p=0.003). Conclusions: Poor subjective economic status of elderly people may result in absence of EOL conversation experience with their families and friends, hindering the elderly from sharing and understanding the EOL preferences. To promote PCs about EOL, gerontology and public health professionals should give special consideration to the subjective economic status of elderly people.

Abstract

The World Values Survey (www.worldvaluessurvey.org) is a global network of social scientists studying changing values and their impact on social and political life, led by an international team of scholars, with the WVS association and secretariat headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.

The survey, which started in 1981, seeks to use the most rigorous, high-quality research designs in each country. The WVS consists of nationally representative surveys conducted in almost 100 countries which contain almost 90 percent of the world’s population, using a common questionnaire. The WVS is the largest non-commercial, cross-national, time series investigation of human beliefs and values ever executed, currently including interviews with almost 400,000 respondents. Moreover the WVS is the only academic study covering the full range of global variations, from very poor to very rich countries, in all of the world’s major cultural zones.

The WVS seeks to help scientists and policy makers understand changes in the beliefs, values and motivations of people throughout the world. Thousands of political scientists, sociologists, social psychologists, anthropologists and economists have used these data to analyze such topics as economic development, democratization, religion, gender equality, social capital, and subjective well-being. These data have also been widely used by government officials, journalists and students, and groups at the World Bank have analyzed the linkages between cultural factors and economic development.

Japan has the highest life expectancy worldwide. Older adults who experience economic insecurity may refrain from seeking medical consultation or using long-term care insurance, and these behaviors may increase the incidence and progression of frailty. This study conducted a cross-sectional survey to identify factors related to a sense of economic insecurity among older adults who participate in social activities, and identified support measures. In total, 1,351 older adults aged ≥65 years who had participated in social activities voluntarily completed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire encompassed their physical, cognitive, social, and psychological conditions, and economic insecurity. We performed univariate analysis considering a sense of economic insecurity as the dependent variable, and conducted multiple logistic regression analysis (forced entry method) considering the independent variables with p

In the build up to the Second World War, the United States was the major power with the highest gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in the world. In 1938, the United States also had the highest overall GDP in the world, and by a significant margin, however differences in GDP per person were much smaller. Switzerland In terms of countries that played a notable economic role in the war, the neutral country of Switzerland had the highest GDP per capita in the world. A large part of this was due to the strength of Switzerland's financial system. Most major currencies abandoned the gold standard early in the Great Depression, however the Swiss Franc remained tied to it until late 1936. This meant that it was the most stable, freely convertible currency available as the world recovered from the Depression, and other major powers of the time sold large amounts of gold to Swiss banks in order to trade internationally. Switzerland was eventually surrounded on all sides by Axis territories and lived under the constant threat of invasion in the war's early years, however Swiss strategic military planning and economic leverage made an invasion potentially more expensive than it was worth. Switzerland maintained its neutrality throughout the war, trading with both sides, although its financial involvement in the Holocaust remains a point of controversy. Why look at GDP per capita? While overall GDP is a stronger indicator of a state's ability to fund its war effort, GDP per capita is more useful in giving context to a country's economic power in relation to its size and providing an insight into living standards and wealth distribution across societies. For example, Germany and the USSR had fairly similar GDPs in 1938, whereas Germany's per capita GDP was more than double that of the Soviet Union. Germany was much more industrialized and technologically advanced than the USSR, and its citizens generally had a greater quality of life. However these factors did not guarantee victory - the fact that the Soviet Union could better withstand the war of attrition and call upon its larger population to replenish its forces greatly contributed to its eventual victory over Germany in 1945.
