- Abstract
- Japan is facing the process of rapid ageing of population, which is often called “silver tsunami”. Now the proportion of Japanese over65 years is a quarter of population, and by 2060 it will rise to almost 40%. This puts very complex problems to Japanese society. From one side - it is necessary to provide senior citizens with decent level of pensions and with adequate level of medical services, and from other side - to create the conditions that allow them to live a full life. Until recently Japan as a whole has successfully cope with these tasks. But the problem is that the maintenance of decent standard of living of senior citizens is becoming increasingly burdensome for working generations and for society as a whole. If in 2015 there were 2, 3 working age persons for every pensioner, by 2060 this figure will drop to 1, 3.
