The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has announced a demographic survey based on the Basic Resident Register. There was a sad reality in that announcement. There were 2.68 million people born in 1947. They are the so-called baby boomers. In 2000, the number of children born decreased to 1.2 million, and in 2010 it rose to 1.07 million. Then there are the tough numbers. In 2020, the number will drop below 1 million to 840,000, in 2021 it will be 810,000, and in 2022 it will be 770,000. By the way, the number of people who will die continues to increase to 1.37 million in 2020, 1.44 million in 2021, and 1.6 million in 2022. We cannot continue to sit idly by and watch Japan's population decline. We are in a situation that we must urgently devise a system to increase our population.
In order to have more children, we need to increase the number of marriages. One countermeasure is to create a system that facilitates encounters between men and women. The hint for countermeasures seems to lie in encounters and pheromones. On the day of ovulation, pheromones unique to women are released. Men seem to be attracted to this smell. Human beings have aspects of animal sex and social gender. It is well known from experience that pheromones produced by men and women enhance emotional well-being and work efficiency. If the company can prepare for this experiential event, it will be a fun workplace. However, it seems that only a minority of companies have the wisdom to create such a mechanism.
We have begun to see cases in which courageous startups are starting to take this countermeasure, thinking that ``if ordinary companies don't do anything about it,'' Tinder, a dating app created in 2012, is used by many people around the world. Tinder is available in 24 languages and is used by over 26 million users a day. You can download the Tinder app to your smartphone. Once downloaded to a smartphone, the accelerometer, gyro sensor, illuminance sensor, GPS, etc. are activated and data is collected by transmitting data one after another. AI analyzes the collected information. From this analysis, we will be able to understand the behavioral patterns of people looking for marriage. It is also an app that allows you to learn more about the people you are looking for. we will be happy if we can use these resources to reach our primary goal of getting married and our secondary goal of having children.
