On a serious note. It will have a multitude of effects. It will encourage Chinese-Japanese migration work visas. More automated care. Much more lucrative inheritance on average. It might also spark a more pronounced debate to encourage having larger families or even adoption. It will also put pressures on the government to invest more in the system.
I got a feeling Japan will manage rather well compared to most of the world.

How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

It's not abstinence that's the issue. It's the impracticality of having both children and a career there. Otherwise there would be no incentive for abstinence.

What about the pension system then? It would need more spending and would have a smaller base of people who contribute to it.
True, that is a valid short term issue. State pensions will likely have to be lowered to cope with such a demographic imbalance. You could likely come up with several of these short term issues. My point is that in the long term, as the elderly eventually pass away, the demographics will return to a natural, sustainable level, albeit with fewer people overall.
The ‘solution’ many countries are trying to implement, particularly in the west, is by opening the flood gates to immigrants. However, all this does is push the problem further down the line, whilst also putting additional strain on many aspects of society.

If the country becomes poorer, there should be a baby boom eventually. It is a fact that poorer people tend to have more children than rich people. That is partially why the poor are poor, because they make foolish decisions.
Japan was ruined in 1945, I think it is no coincidence that they had a fantastic recovery and golden age of sorts after that. You can only make the fastest gains when you start at rock bottom.

Well you aren't a real socialist. Just a sociopath disguised as one.
Not to mention that this thread split off from LWDT, so I assumed you would think this thread was a "revisionist hellhole".

Probably a combination of both.
As it is, the current system won't hold. There's not enough care for the elderly because the ideal was the family took care, well, there's not enough family members (Not to mention wanting to do so for years) to take care of all the elderly and for each who does... that's someone out of the working population. The job market is so understaffed right now that Japan's famed takubin system is in danger of collapsing and no one is actually sure if we have enough people to pull off the Olympics or not.
By-the-by, there IS immigration to Japan. We are here, so please take Japan out of your pure-land-no-filthy-immigrant dreams. There's what Japan says, and then there is reality. Reality shows that there's more immigrants than Japan admits too due to public pressure. But if you actually counted all foreigners in Japan not on a tourist visa, there's more than the often bandied 1.5% number.
