#98 Japan's Greying Population
Japan is one of many countries faced with an ageing population, but the problem is quite pronounced. The world's lowest fertility rate combined with a high life expectancy gives it the oldest mean age in the world of 46.1. A third of Japanese are aged over 60, and the country's population is falling.
Guest:
Associate Professor Nobuhiro Aizawa (Center for Asia-Pacific Future Studies at Kyushu University).
