japan uganda mexico global average
population growth rate -0.10% 3.32% 1.07% 1.10%
fertility rate 1.39 6.06 2.25 2.45
life expectancy 84 years 54 years 77 years 68 years
low fertility rate
high fertility rate
low life expectancy
high life expectancy

Explanation:

Japan has a negative population - growth rate of - 0.10% and a relatively low fertility rate of 1.39 compared to the global average of 2.45. High life - expectancy does not cause negative population growth directly. Low life - expectancy is not the case for Japan as it has a high life - expectancy of 84 years. High fertility rate would lead to population growth, not decline. So, the low fertility rate is the most likely cause.

Answer:

low fertility rate
