  • Japan ages more – Over 10% of population aged 80 or over

    Over 10 Per Cent Of Japanese People Are Now Aged 80 Or Above: Government

     

    Japan is grappling with a rapidly aging population, with over 10% of its people being 80 years or older for the first time. The country also has the highest percentage of elderly population globally.

    The elderly population in Japan is a vital part of the workforce, with more than 9 million elderly individuals still working, making up 13.6% of the total workforce. Additionally, over a third of people between the ages of 70 to 74 have jobs in Japan.

    The aging population in Japan is a result of young people delaying marriage and having children due to unstable jobs and economic difficulties. This has led to a decline in the overall population and a need for increased spending on elderly care and welfare programs.

  • Price Pain: Japan unveils $48 billion package (50,000 yen per child)

    Japan has prepared to provide handouts for low-income families to help protect them from the impact of rising prices and energy costs on normal households.

    For this Japan has earmarked a $48.6 billion economic package.

    The country wants to do all it can to complete the salvaging of the economy from economic woes and other social activities brought on it by the pandemic.

    There will also be a distribution of cash of 50,000 yen per child to low-income households.

    Japan hopes to finance this venture by tapping into reserve funds allocated for emergency spending, and also, that will be supported by money from other budgets already put together in 2022.
