Recently, the most terrible crisis in Japan has become a hot topic. The most terrible crisis in Japan is the aging of the population. The number of children in the society is becoming less and less. Facing the problem of "no successor", Japan will raise the age of employees to 70. Can this solve the problem of aging in Japan?
More and more elderly people in Japan
In 2017, the number of new births in Japan will be 941000, the lowest since the statistics were available in 1899, falling below the 1 million mark for two consecutive years.
In 2017, the estimated number of deaths in Japan was 1.344 million, an increase of 36000 over the previous year. Compared with the previous year, Japan's population naturally decreased by 403000 in 2017, which was the first time that the index exceeded 400000. In 2017, the number of civil marriage registration in Japan dropped to 600000, the lowest since World War II, with a decrease of 14000 compared with the previous year.
There are fewer and fewer children and more and more old people. People are less and less fond of marriage and having children. What's the point of houses and land? Therefore, houses in Japan are becoming more and more worthless, especially in rural areas, where no one lives. How to solve this big problem?
How to solve the aging problem in Japan
At the recent future investment conference, the Japanese government determined the main contents of the "new economic growth strategy" to be issued this summer. One of the contents caused great controversy: in response to the population reduction, it proposed to extend the retirement age again and strive to delay it to 70.
In addition to extending the age of the above provisions to 70, it also requires that employees be helped to reemploy in other enterprises, that freelancers be converted to contract system, that middle-aged and elderly people be supported to start their own businesses, that enterprises provide financial support to social organizations founded by retired employees, and that part-time and sideline jobs be encouraged.
Since there are only the elderly left in the world, let's give full play to their surplus heat. The elderly continue to work, start businesses and support social operation. The world is not so difficult to grasp. It seems that there is no better way out of this way.
