A Profile of Older Japanese 2010
(Apr. 10 ILC-Japan)
Japan is setting the pace among the aging societies of the world. People aged 65 and over now make up over one-fifth of the population and in twenty years will reach one-third. How are individual older people faring in this “longevity society?”
“A Profile of Older Japanese” is a compilation of data from various ministries of the national government and other sources, along with brief interpretations. It is organized into seven sections: “The Aging Population and Aged Society,”“Living Arrangements,” “Housing”, “Health Status,” “Family and Long-Term Care,”“Economic Status,” and “The New-Old and Social Participation.”
