Japan is an ethnically homogeneous country, hence roughly 98% of the population is of Japanese desent. The official language of Japan is primarily Japanese. However, due to globalisation, more Japanese people are interested in foreign cultures and languages. Even though Japanese is the primary language of Japan, there has been a trend of people who know English as a second language. There have also been some Japanese people who have been studying foreign languages other than English. In correlation to Japan's culture, foreign cultures have been influencing or have been integrating into Japanese culture. Based on this, the possibility that the demographics of japan will become more diverse is strong. As the problem of the ageing population in Japan grows, there will most likely be a shortage of workers in some industries. As a result, Japan would be pressured to accept more immigrants in the future.
