In Japan, the issue of senior poverty has become increasingly prominent amidst the backdrop of an aging society and economic challenges. As the population ages and birth rates decline, the strain on the pension system and social support mechanisms has intensified, leaving many elderly citizens vulnerable to financial insecurity.
This video delves into the complex factors contributing to senior poverty in Japan, examining the impact of the low birth rate on the sustainability of pension funds and the broader Japanese economy. We explore how rising housing, food, and utilities expenses have compounded the financial burden on seniors, making it increasingly difficult for them to make ends meet.
Drawing from recent news and government statistics, we shed light on the stark realities faced by elderly individuals in Japan, highlighting the urgent need for policy reforms and social initiatives to address this pressing issue. Join us as we delve into the challenges of senior poverty in Japan and explore potential solutions to support the well-being of the elderly population.

Everywhere is the same . If U stop working , no income = no savings .
Rich young business man is JAPAN PLEASE HELP THE OLD FELLOWMEN IN YOUR COUNTRY
of course,paying mindblowing high taxes 🎉okay?
Don't worry Bro, Just put a smile on your face. and the Rich are helping their family.
In a culture which supposedly respects its elders, this is especially shameful. Their government needs to make age discrimination illegal. Shame on them.
Heartbreaking. Makes me appreciate what I have.
My local Sheriff's department has retired deputies who will go and check on the elderly. If the elders need social services, food assistance, small home repairs,etc they have volunteers who will help.
That’s wonderful!
Shocking, considering that Japan was on top of the world about 40 years ago.
Shouldn't cleaning after dead at least be subsidized by the government so landlords would stop refusing renting to seniors?
My country is poor but very seldom that a senior in their 80's work. Their relatives supports them with the help of the government social pension.
governments are horrible to let elders suffering like that. House, Food, Medical, Education, Clothes, Energy and Transportation must be free for every individuals on this planet earth to be fair for living here
'Calm voice' I like most.
Dead body for 3 months and nobody notices?
In America, one can only earn so much money before they take away his social security.
Only up to full retirement age-67 or so. After FRA, can make as much as they can.
That is not correct.
@@ronleight9341 Enlighten me.
that is why your old self is depending on your young self...save save save is the key...
This is a real good channel
That’s true. Government stills money and do not pay pensions. It is a shame
jpn has the world's longest lifespan...is that a blessing or a curse?
Help seniors you will be one soon❤
Man, my retired parents are lucky my sister and I make enough money to give them financial support after they retired. Seeing these old folks go back to work at over 75 makes me sad.
There just too many sad story like this all over my country too😢
Also like this in my country😢
So sad.
This is the trap that many generations were told to fall into. Seriously.
In the States, we're supposed to work x# of years until it's "time" to retire and then depend on social security to take care of us.
WRONG!!!!
If you're 55 and under, please listen up!!!
Social security was/is meant to be a backup if things didn't/ aren't going so well for you financially. It was NEVER meant for you to live cushy. And it never will.
If you want to live a decent life when you get older, SAVE NOW! Invest NOW!!! Don't plan on depending on that because it probably won't even be there when it's your time to collect. Either that, or you'll retire, find out how how little that money goes, and are forced to work until you kick the bucket.
Consider this video your wake up call.
Oh please, no one was ever told that SS would be enough to depend on exclusively.
@@carollynt Do you need a hug? 😄😜
Did their children all abandoned them? Of course, some didnt have children but many im sure did.
Where are the kids,extended families like siblings, cousins etc? This is what helps withAfricans, we are more communal.Also does Japan not have government subsidised old age homes?
Quite a Harsh Reality Check, thanks for showing us the Deep Darkness...under the Blinding Lights 😰😔😪
I feel terrible for the plight economic plight of these elderly, but didn't they save money in their large amount of years they were working
子供を作れば良いのに...
🙄🤔🧐
The penalty for living under capitalism!🀄️
