死亡数、初の10万人超
2010年中に都内で生まれた赤ちゃんは10万8135人で5年連続で増加する一方、死亡数は戦後初めて10万人を超えたことが、都が30日発表した人口動態統計で分かった。

数年後には死亡数が出生数を上回るとみられ、都は2020年をピークに都内の人口が減少に転じると予測している。

出生数は前年より1522人増えた。中でも35~39歳の母親の出生数は15年連続の増加。ただ、女性が生涯に産む子供の数を示す「合計特殊出生率」は、前年と同じ1・12(全国平均1・39)で、全国で最も低かった。23区で最高は江戸川区の1・37で、次いで足立区(1・33)、葛飾区(1・28)だった。最低は渋谷区の0・85。市部では羽村市の1・50が最も高く、最低は武蔵野市の0・97だった。

死亡数は前年の9万8304人より5934人増えて10万4238人となった。人口1000人当たりの死亡数を表す死亡率は8・1(全国平均9・5)で前年を0・3ポイント上回った。

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
