Abstract
Japan has one of the oldest populations in the world. By 2050, the elderly population over the age of 65 in Japan will account for more than 40% of the total population. This poses huge social and economic challenges for Japan, especially when it comes to old-age care. This paper will discuss the problems of Japan's elderly care and put forward significance of Japan’s measures to tackle with aging problem. This research is based on existing studies and will be helpful for policy-makers to take relevant action in China. The Chinese government should strengthen the planning and top-level design of elderly undertakings, focus on the future pension situation and implement a more active pension policy, and clarify the division of responsibilities between central and local governments and local governments at all levels in promoting old-age care. In the future, scholars could do more detailed comparisons between China and Japan in the field of dealing with problems derived from aging.
