The small Japanese town of Nagi (population: 5,700), has been getting so many visitors, mainly government policymakers and media people, that the place is now charging visitor fees. The visitors are interested in how Nagi has been able to get their residents to change their reproductive intentions, a term from demography, resulting in a population growth rate that is twice that of the national average. From the 1970s up to about the turn of the century, global interest centered on 'population explosion' but over the years, interest has shifted to low fertility rates, especially in developed countries.
