What's wrong with an old man in his 70s

4hw.com.cn: Japan's aging is becoming more and more serious. According to Taiwan media, due to the aging population in Japan, some Japanese local governments no longer call their 70s old people. What's wrong with their 70s? Let's have a look.

Taiwan media quoted Kyodo news and nikkei.cn as saying that Daiwa city in Kanagawa County, Japan, claimed to build a city that does not call people in their 70s old people. The city said that in a super aged society that ushers in the era of 100 years of life, it is necessary to change the inherent concept that people over 65 are generally regarded as old people. It is hoped that this generation will live up to its will and ability.

At the memorial ceremony, mayor damuzhe stressed that he hoped to extend the healthy life span of the citizens and improve the awareness of life-long work by releasing positive signals, so that no matter how old they are, they can be active in the society.

It is reported that Dahe city announced in April 2014 that "people in their 60s will no longer be called old people". At that time, the city's population aged over 75 accounted for 8.8%. By April 2018, the number had increased to 11.2%. At present, there are about 26000 people over the age of 70 in Dahe city.

In view of the aging of the public and the adjustment of the definition of the elderly to 75 years old by organizations such as the Japan Institute for the elderly last year, Yamato city has put forward a new declaration, but this will not affect the age of the elderly defined by laws and regulations. Daiwa said it was the only local government in Japan to make such a declaration.
