On the 16th in accordance with the "Respect for the Aged Day" the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications announced the estimation (as of September 15) on the elderly population in Japan.

In the overall population, the ratio of the elderly people aged 65 and above accounted for 25.0% (an increase of 0.9 point compared with last year); overall one in four became an elderly.

Compared with last year, the elderly population had an increase of 1,120,000 people to become 31,860,000 people, updating the highest figure so far.

The said ministry analyzed that "It is a factor that "baby-boomers" began to reach 65 years old".

In the overall population aged 65 and above, in ratio broken down according to sex, the population was 13,690,000 men and 18,180,000 women, in that the man was 22.1%, the woman was 27.8%.

As for the age exception, those aged 80 and over broke through 9 million people to become 9,300,000; it was an increase of 380,000 people compared with last year. Aged 70 and over were 23,170,000 people, an increase of 610,000; aged 75 and over were 15,600,000 people, an increase of 430,000.
Like mainland China, Japan is having an aging population. Probably, government spending on both social welfare and medical welfare for the aged would increase.
