What is the average Japanese family size?

The average Japanese family size has decreased significantly over the past few decades, from five people per household in the 1950s to 2.4 people per household in 2019. This shift can be attributed to economic pressures, changing social values regarding child rearing, accessibility of birth control methods, low fertility rates, increasing life expectancy, gender roles, immigration policies and an aging population. The decline in average family size has had both positive and negative impacts on Japanese society including increased access to education opportunities for children and labor shortages due to a decrease in the working age population.
