Japan is set to offer payment to families who move out of the overcrowded capital of Tokyo under a new scheme which would see parents offered one million yen ($7,590) per child to relocate. Officials in Japan are adding an extra 700,000 yen ($5,314) to the 300,000 yen ($2,277) that was already on offer for relocation to try and tempt more people away from Tokyo amid concerns the country’s population and economy is becoming too concentrated in the capital. Residents who live in the 23 districts within Tokyo, as well as those who live on the outskirts, will be able to claim the cash to move. There are around 1,300 municipalities signed up for residents to relocate to.
