Japanies Population growth...

See the growth of Japanies population, Its absolutely mind blowing one,
In Japan, where one fifth of the population is now over 65, a preview of a global future.

Intresting news about this population growth is.,

Last December, a state-run think tank published a report noting that right now one out of five Japanese are over the age of 65—making Japan one of the oldest populations in the world. And the trend is headed up: by 2023, people over 65 will make up 30 percent of the population; by 2055, they will be more than 40 percent. For women like my mother, the news is even better: Right now the average life span for a Japanese woman is 85.5 years, and, according to a recent WTO study, by 2030 that figure will rise to 88.5. Meanwhile, Japan’s impressive health-care system and healthy lifestyles have allowed seniors to live fuller lives.That’s the good news. The bad news is that these longer lives can mean greater costs for society as a whole. Retirees are often drawing on funds from the public purse while there are ever-fewer workers to pay into it. Already in Japan, a whopping 71 percent of total social-welfare appropriations goes to entitlements for the elderly. That's up from 59 percent in 1990, compared with a mere 25 percent in 1973.The problem is not just in Japan, though the pace of aging seems not as fast elsewhere. In 2005, the elderly population accounted for 20 percent in Italy, about the same as in Japan, followed by Germany (18.8 percent), Sweden (17.2 percent) and France (16.6 percent), according to United Nations data. (The United States figure is 12.3 percent.)

Many of them even have a place where retirees with time on their hands can sit and have a chat.

this is what happening in japan.
