In Japan, more than 1 in 10 people of the country’s 124 million population are now aged 80 or older, according to a new report published by Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs on August 18, 2023. Japan’s fast-ageing population has forced the government to raise healthcare and pension spending. It has also introduced a package of wide-ranging measures to curb the country’s falling birth rate. But so far those measures have failed to reverse the trend.
