Is there some secret ingredient in the Japanese diet that is particularly beneficial to the human body? Another factor which contributes to the rapid population aging in Japan is a decline in birthrate. Although longer life should be celebrated, it is actually considered a social problem.

Raising the retirement age from 65 to 70 could be one solution to the problem. Work can give the elderly a sense of responsibility and mission in life. It’s important that the elderly play active roles in the society and live in harmony with all generations.
