Case study: the challenge of aging in

Japan

Q1- The regions least affected by aging

are the regions which have a percentage of evolution of

the population equal to 0 in 2010-2040. We could

explain it by a correct fertility rate, as well as the

low presence of elderly people. Contrasts

spatial demographics will increase as the

regions affected by aging are far from

large cities. They are isolated and therefore the

presence of young people na will only focus on

regions least affected by aging.

Q2- In 2018, the total population is 126 million

inhabitants, a big evolution compared to

1900s. Note that 28.4% of this

population are people over the age of 65,

a percentage that has greatly increased by more than

20% and which will continue in 2065.

58.9% are aged 15 to 65, which represents

enormously, more than half of this population

total. However, only 12.7% remain

belong to those under 15, a figure that has

greatly dropped since 1965 and continues to

fall year after year.

In 2065, the increase of people over 65 is

considerable with more than 10% in 47 years. However

a slight drop of 7.5% can be observed on the 15-

65 years. While the population under 15

continues its fall.

The forecast evolution is then an evolution of

elderly population as well as a loss of labor,

young workers. A population greatly affected

through aging.

Q3- The expected natural balance can be described as a decline

demographic with a fall in consumption,

of GDP and on the other hand an increase in debts

public.
