Women's health and FemTech market in Japan - statistics & facts

Japan’s population is both shrinking and aging dramatically, and as a consequence, one of the most pressing challenges for its government and society is to secure a sufficient workforce. The Japanese government has relied on the increasing involvement of the elderly generation and female population in employment to offset the labor shortage in recent years. As the number of working women of all ages has grown, female health protection has increased in importance, specifically in the fields of gynecology and obstetrics.
