Japan's elderly population has surged to 36.25 million, with nearly 30% of the nation now 65 or older, highlighting a significant demographic shift.
With the elderly accounting for almost one-third of the population, Japan leads globally in elder demographics, raising concerns about the effects on workforce and economy.
The National Institute of Population and Social Security Research predicts elderly citizens will reach 34.8% by 2040, intensifying Japan's demographic challenges ahead.
Japan faces a looming workforce shortage projected at over 11 million by 2040, exacerbated by a declining birth rate and increasing elderly care costs.
