A reminder Japan's birthrate isn't a special case: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_f...
Same as Spain and Jamaica, higher than China and Korea.
You probably want to look at overall population growth, as many countries have young immigrants that contribute to their growth.

I thought the topic was about countries running out of workers. Western countries are doing fine, as they're able to import workers.
There's also the question of what a country even is anymore, other than a company that collects taxes when goods or money move across an arbitrary border, in exchange for using its brand image.
Closer to Canada than Canada is to the U.S.
