First, the aging of Japanese society is too serious.

According to the data recently released by the Japanese government, the number of elderly people over 80 years old in Japan has exceeded10 million. It is estimated that by 2060, the population over 65 years old in Japan will reach 40% of the total population. The aging problem has become an unavoidable modern crisis in Japanese society. Due to the shortage of labor, many Japanese employers regard the elderly as valuable labor resources.

Second, Japan's pension is really low.

At present, most employees of large and medium-sized enterprises in Japan retire at the age of 60 in principle, but they can also be rehired at the age of 65 according to their own wishes. However, the re-employment salary is almost halved. Since Japan's pension starts at the age of 65 in principle, if you want to start at the age of 60, you need to withdraw it in advance. Therefore, after retirement, most employees still choose re-employment to earn living expenses until they are 65 years old and begin to receive pensions.

Third, prices and living costs are high.

In recent years, due to the continuous economic downturn in Japan, pensions have hardly increased for many years, and the actual quality of life of many retirees has been significantly affected. According to the statistics of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, in 20 14 years, Japanese middle-class families and couples received an average monthly pension of 2 1809- 1909 dollars. According to the current price level, it is difficult to maintain a comfortable and decent life for the couple only by these pensions.
