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.
