中新社东京6月3日电 (记者 朱晨曦)日本厚生劳动省3日发布的人口动态统计数据显示，2025年日本新生儿数量超67.1万人，总和生育率(平均每名育龄妇女生育子女数)为1.14。两项统计数字均为连续10年下降，创有统计以来最低纪录。
数据显示，日本2025年新生儿数量较上一年减少近1.5万人，连续第二年跌破70万人，创1899年有可比数据以来的新低。
2025年日本总和生育率较上一年下降0.01至1.14，为自1947年开始统计以来的最低水平。从地域分布看，总和生育率最高的是冲绳，为1.52；最低的是东京，为0.96。
日本2025年死亡人口逾158.9万人。以死亡人口减去出生人口得出的“人口自然减少”超91.8万人，连续第二年超过90万人。
数据还显示，2025年日本结婚登记数超过48.9万对，较上一年增加4027对；离婚登记数约为17.9万对，较上一年减少6836对。
据日本广播协会(NHK)报道，日本国立社会保障与人口问题研究所此前预测，日本预计要到2040年全年出生人口才会降至约67万人，这一情况已提前15年到来，凸显日本少子化趋势进一步加剧。
日本厚生劳动省表示，虽然新生儿数量的减少幅度与近年来相比有所放缓，但依然未能遏制少子化趋势，将继续加强少子化对策。(完)
