Japan’s ageing population
A quarter of Japanese people are now aged over 65, with predictions that nearly half the population will reach that age by the end of the century.
In Japan people don’t just live longer, they work longer, stay healthier and approach old age in some interesting and innovative ways.
One policy initiative is old age day care which is well used and well organised in Japan.
