1.Current status of aging in 2026: The worsening situation as seen through data
It is said that Japan's aging will accelerate in the year 2026. According to the latest census, the population of the elderly over 65 years old exceeds 30% of the total population, and the appearance of the "super aging society" deepens.
1.1 vicious circle of increasing population and declining birthrate
In 2026, all of the generation of the baby boomers became the late elderly people over 75 years old, and the population which needed nursing increased rapidly. On the other hand, the total special birth rate is flat around 1.3 and the decline in the labor force and the increase in the population of the elderly are causing a vicious circle.
1.2 differences between regions
Municipalities such as Tokyo area have relatively young オナホール, while local cities and rural areas have more than 40% of the aging population. The difference of the progress of the aging by the region becomes the future social problem.
2. The aggravated background: why do we progress so fast
Japan's aging is not only extending the life expectancy but also multiple social factors.
2.1 long term depression of declining
Because of the rise in marriage age, the spread of late marriage, non marriage, and the rise in child rearing expenses, the declining birthrate continues in the long term. This increases the proportion of the elderly population.
2.2 life extension marks with advances in medical technology
The development of medical technology greatly extended the life 電マ, and people aged 65 and over became healthy for a long time. It is an important factor to promote the aging.
Effects of aging and future responses
3.Since 2026, ageing has a serious impact on every field of Japanese society.
3.1 concrete impact on society
Many problems such as the slowdown of economic growth due to the decrease in the labor force population, the increase of the financial burden of the pension, the medical care and the care system, the depopulation of the local region, and the abolition of the service become clear.
3.2 measures for resolution
As a measure of the measure, it is necessary to promote the employment promotion (the extension and reemployment of the elderly), the strengthening of the measures of the declining birthrate (improvement of the child care support), the securing and treatment improvement of the care worker, and the prevention of the population loss by the local creation. As for individuals, the importance of asset formation and health care for old age is increasing.
