Raising the retirement age to 70 is necessary in Japan’s aging society. As of 2023, the average healthy life expectancy is 72.7 for men and 75.4 for women, meaning many people can still work after 65. Japan’s labor force is shrinking—by 2040, it is expected to fall by over 10 million. In a 2022 survey, more than 70% of workers in their 60s said they want to keep working. Extending the retirement age can help solve labor shortages and allow seniors to stay active.
I believe this change is practical and positive for both individuals and society.

I was surprised that there were more senior people working part-time than I thought.
返信削除There is a labor shortage due to the declining birthrate and aging population, so extending the retirement age would help to alleviate the labor shortage and reduce the burden on young people. Therefore, I think that extending the retirement age should be considered.
返信削除I learned for the first time that the healthy life expectancy in Japan is long. However, I am worried about whether I will be able to work in good health when I reach that age.
