Compare Tokyo and Hokkaido
Then, why elementary school? It is because numbers of elementary school show the real condition of the prefecture on education most effectively. When it comes to junior high school, some students go to private school, however when they are elementary school there are not so many students who go to private school. Then, the numbers indicate that the number of student per school is widely different. Local schools have few students, so it is difficult to maintain the school financially, and it can be connected to school abolish. As a result, there are no enough education environmental, people move to big cities, and this accelerate depopulation. As we see, educational problems is not so simple and it is one of the factors for depopulation.
The last point is population. It is the most important point in this essay. This is the numbers of population.
Hokkaido: 5,431,000
Tokyo: 13,300,000
In addition, I have a date, which I want to show.
Inhabitable land area
Hokkaido: 2,220,772 ha
Tokyo: 139,214 ha
These date mean not only severe depopulation of Hokkaido per area, but also the extreme population concentration of Tokyo. This is the biggest problem. As numbers of people in one city, Tokyo is biggest in the world and population density is top level. Tokyo has too much population instead of local depopulation.
Thus, not only regions but also big city has problems. I think we should not dismiss this situation. What can we do for that? How do you think and take action?
