Tokyo, Sep 20 (EFE).- About 29.1 percent of Japan’s population is aged 65 years or older and accounts for 13.6 percent of the country’s workforce, both record figures, the government announced on Respect for the Aged Day on Monday.

The number of people aged 65 and above in the country was 36.4 million as of September, an increase of 220,000 people over the previous year, according to the figures of the Ministry of the Internal Affairs and Communications.

Japanese men aged 65 years and over account for 15.83 million, while women of the same age group account for 20.57 million, according to the ministry’s data.

Japan has the oldest population in the world, followed by Italy (23.6 percent) and Portugal (23.1 percent), according to the United Nations.

There are 12.06 million Japanese aged 80 years and above, an increase of 460,000 with respect to previous data, and those over the age of 90 have reached 2.59 million, among them more than 86,500 centenarians, another record for the country.

Demographic data shows that Japan is a rapidly aging society, a phenomena that is going to continue to intensify, according to the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research.

The agency forecasts that those over 65 will account for 30 percent of the Japanese population by 2025 and 35.3 percent by 2040.

This demographic group represents 13.6 percent or 9.06 million of the employed people in the country, of which 3.67 million are women.

The wholesale and retail industry employs the most people aged 65 years and above, with 1.28 million senior workers, followed by agriculture and forestry, with 1.06 million.

The proportion of employed senior citizens has reached 25.1 percent, the second highest among the world’s major economies, only behind South Korea, where the percentage is 34.1 percent, according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. EFE

Immigration might be a solution but some prefer to keep it an ethnostate

Yeah importing millions of low iq niggers will work super well. are you retarded?

We tried that in Sweden. The result is that along with hundreds of thousands of old people living on pensions and draining tax money we also have hundreds of thousands of immigrants living on welfare and draining tax money. The difference is the old people will die soon whereas the immigrants will continue to drain welfare money for decades and decades and decades.

Oh yeah, and the old people used to be productive members of society and generally weren't committing crimes.

Holy shit, someone should look under Japan for the fucking Eldritch being that is responsible for their rapid aging, why is the world not more concerned about this?

There's a truckload of Japs, it's very DENSELY populated. They will be fine even with an aging population. You weebs will still get much animu to wank on. Most japs are fine with the idea that there will be less japs in the future.

All countries should do this tbh: lower birthing rates and let robots take care of the olds. What's trully the point with producing so much more humans? Most of them are dumb and ugly, and live meaningless lifes.

Of course it's funny than the politicians there are in fact trying to get people to reproduce, just, in such a retarded inefficient way.

 

[Kiwisee]

Maybe we should bring back euthanizing the elderly.

That’s preferable to letting in hoardes of niggers

Their economy, and especially their social programs are in danger of failing on account of their shrinking population, for one. That's going to force their hand into importing foreign workers, which will damage the sociocultural equilibrium they've "enjoyed" up to this point, while also providing an opportunity to put further pressure on said failing social programs.

Maybe we should bring back euthanizing the elderly.

The whole point of pointing out that the population is aging is to point out that there's no fresh blood because nobody's reproducing. Euthanizing the elderly doesn't fix that issue.

Hey, wait a second, this is America.

...Well, the men here long for relationships but get duped into simping on account of their social ineptitude, and the women are increasingly more content with creating parasitic parasocial relationships to milk said men.

So, I guess we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Now that I think about it, our own birthrate is flagging, but it's not nearly as bad as what we're seeing in Japan. I'm considering that the fact that we don't have as developed a prostitution culture as Japan does (due in part to its illegality, our lack of creativity in skirting the prohibitions, and the fact that our strumpets are both ugly on average and have excessively high self-esteem for their station) has been a mitigating factor in our not keeping up with Japan's social separation.

It's got a lot more to do with the hispanic population and the fact that we have lots of places in the US that aren't basically bugmen hives still. Our major urban areas barely if ever enforce prostitution laws, so the odds of that being a factor are slim. We still got lots of places that aren't massively over-populated, which helps prevent the formation of the various sorts of social pathology(not sure if this is the right word here)that leads to people not having kids.

Japan's problems in my view can be traced back to population density, there are too many people in too small a space on that island. All the weird shit you hear about from there makes sense when you consider the obvious fact that we didn't evolve to live in massive urban centers, and we probably need to a fair bit of space per person in order to be psychologically normal.

What I wonder, is how Japan's nearest neighbor in South Korea, is fairing on those stats? SK as a country is smaller in size (I think), but how does the population density there compare to Japan? Also, SK's work culture is even worse than Japan's, to the point that some Koreans joke about the Japanese being lazy, in comparison to them. And IIRC, SK's suicide rate is even higher than Japan's, with all of the suicide stuff in Japanese culture, i.e. Seppuku, and the Kamikazes in World War II.

I think this needs to cleared up. Japan is indeed overpopulated, but only in the cities. The countryside on the other hand is a ghost town. There over 8 million abandoned homes in the Japanese countryside, and the government is trying to get people to move into them.

@Thiletonomics What I wonder, is how Japan's nearest neighbor in South Korea, is fairing on those stats?

Their birth rate is below 1.0, which means the average women is bearing between 1 and 0 children.

and even has wikipedia page about it.

Well literally a couple minutes of searching regarding the topic gives this for the RoK, https://www.worldometers.info/demog...line pregnant_woman Total Fertiliy Rate (TFR)

and this for Japan https://www.indexmundi.com/japan/total_fertility_rate.html

Japan's TFR is 1.38, while Korea has a TFR of 1.1, so the peninsula of starcraft is in even worse shape than the hentai island.

Yes there's empty area, but those are mostly mountains. Japan is a coutry of seismic risks and steep moutains, so they don't build as much in the mountains, the risk that it's all gonna tumble down is higher. Also Mountains are sacred. You get the "flat area" full of rice paddies and populated cities, and those are fully booked and then the mountains are full of woods. There isn't that much room to grow. They are already completly dependant of importation from foreign nations for food (Rice, Wheat, Meat, everything even the basic comes from China, Australia, sometimes the US) They simply don't have enough agricultural land to feed the population they have.

Also, the jobs are in cities. Trying to get people to live in ghost town that have no capacity to sustain them is a deadend. It's a worldwide trend. The world population is expected to be even more concentrated in cities in the future that it is now.

As for the social system, it's already bad. A lot of old geezers are already working to supplement their meager pension. You get 80-year-old cabbies there.There's also a phenomenon of old people stealing food in combinis. Even old people getting caught on purpose to be sent to prison, when at least they are housed and fed.

It's bad, but They need to reform for the situation they are in, rather than hoping Japs start making kids again. Because the relationship between genders, the workculture, and the status of mothers there, it's all too broken. If they wanted more kids They should probably build and subsidize daycare for kids (and the disabled) and help women have both kids and career but the politicians are too dumb and conservative for that.
