Japan however is shrinking in population and missed the whole baby boomer generation for obvious reasons. Without the population growth, they can't grow their GDP to get their debt levels in a reasonable range.

But, hypothetically, if they monetized the debt, it wouldn't be debt anymore?

I believe Japan owns most of it's debt, so it cant monitize it for political reasons.
