Why is Japan not growing?

Japan is facing significant challenges that are preventing it from growing at the same rate as other countries in the region. This article explores why Japan is not growing, looking at economic, demographic, political, social, trade, currency and productivity issues. These include an aging population, political instability, low consumer confidence, trade imbalances with its major trading partners due to its strong currency relative to theirs, poor productivity growth due to a lack of investment into research and development (R&D), and a slow pace of reforms and innovation when it comes to business practices or government policies.
