経済成長が停滞する
Economic growth stagnates
若者の人口減少により、地域の成長が停滞している。
Due to the decline in young population, regional growth has stagnated.
Used in economic, business, or personal development contexts.
This phrase is frequently used in economics, business, and demographics to describe lack of progress. Pay attention to the subject (e.g., 経済 'economy', 会社 'company', 地域 'region').
停滞する implies a halt in progress but not necessarily a decline. For actual decline, use 減少する (decrease) or 下降する (drop).
成長 (seichō) means 'growth' and 停滞 (teitai) means 'stagnation' or 'standstill'. The phrase combines these two kanji to describe a state where growth halts.
Commonly used in formal reports, news articles, and business contexts. Not typically used in casual conversation.
