This article focuses on the situation of elderly people in Japan and the recent changes in society. Japan's population is aging. During the 1950s, the percentage of the population in the 65-and-over group remained steady at around 5%. Throughout subsequent decades, however, that age group expanded, and by 1989 it had grown to 11.6% of the population. It was expected to reach 16.9% by 2000 and almost 25.2% by 2020. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this trend was the speed with which it was occurring in comparison to trends in other industrialised nations. In the United States, expansion of the 65-and-over age group from 7% to 14% took 75 years; in the United Kingdom and Germany, this expansion took 45 years. The same expansion in Japan only took 24.5 years, passing 7% in late 1970 an

  • Gli anziani in Giappone costituiscono una fetta importante della popolazione del paese. Secondo una stima riferita al 2016 una persona su quattro possedeva un'età pari o superiore a 65 anni, corrispondente al 27,3% della popolazione totale, la più alta percentuale al mondo. Il Giappone è interessato da un drastico invecchiamento demografico e si prevede che gli over 65 rappresenteranno il 40% della popolazione entro il 2060. (it)

  • Gli anziani in Giappone costituiscono una fetta importante della popolazione del paese. Secondo una stima riferita al 2016 una persona su quattro possedeva un'età pari o superiore a 65 anni, corrispondente al 27,3% della popolazione totale, la più alta percentuale al mondo. Il Giappone è interessato da un drastico invecchiamento demografico e si prevede che gli over 65 rappresenteranno il 40% della popolazione entro il 2060. L' è fissata a 65 anni, ma molti anziani scelgono di continuare a lavorare anche dopo aver raggiunto tale traguardo. Nel 2015 i lavoratori ultrasessantacinquenni erano 7,3 milioni. Proprio la forte etica del lavoro, insieme al senso di appartenenza, la consapevolezza di essere ancora importanti e necessari per la famiglia e la società, sommate a una alimentazione povera di calorie sono tra i segreti della longevità dei giapponesi. Nel 2015 l'aspettativa di vita alla nascita era infatti di 87,3 anni, la media più alta sul pianeta. (it)
