It is a common problem in developed countries. Although they are rich, but they are poor in terms of happiness in life. I am very lucky that it is not the same thing in my country. I see a lot of old neighbors very relaxed most of the time, they just sit outside and wait for other neighbors, young or old to talk about anything and everything under the sun. The problem with rich countries is that people are too serious. Here in the Philippines, no money,no problem. People are resilient and they can get by with little money. It is not really a big deal if you dont have money here...

Actually, in Japan many people who find themselves out of a job or homeless turn to petty crime to try and get incarcerated on purpose. This is because not only do Japanese prisons provide a comfortable place to sleep and three meals a day as described in the video, but they also have 'rehabilitation programs' designed so that those incarcerated learn skills which make them employable. For example, they learn how to weave, manage machinery, etc. so that when they get out of prison they can seek a job at industrial factories, etc.
It’s not even about families not helping the elderly. Some are in their 80s and 90s, outlive their children, and don’t have the money to survive on their own. They literally have no one to help them.
It’s unlikely you’re gonna outlive all your children But they only had 1 or 2, even then, the old person should be able to crash at their nieces and nephews
Lauren Every Vice video has some shit like that. Mistranslate or misrepresent or misname. Maybe if it was rare, but every video seems ridiculous, right?
what's wrong? Its just nature. If you get to 80 and never build up a pension for yourself its obvious that you are going to be poor and alone. What is your solution? Making YOUNG PEOPLE pay MORE for the old ones? It would be a system impossible to sustain. Old people need to accept the fact that they are old. if you have no community when you are old it's probably because you fucked up your life before, or you are so old that all your connections died...in both cases there's nothing that the state can do for you. You gotta fix yourlife by yourself, not wait for someone else to do it.
It's not that they aren't nice it's that they actually enforce authority and there's no space for fucking things up!! You work hard all day and can get beat up by the guards! That's why they are so tight! Americans just don't have any discipline
MR. OBVIOUS Say someone that is probably a foreigner in it's country who don't understand the single shit of the MAIN REASON for these people to crave a place to live with others right?
@Atlas aït Amazal No, you obviously can't live anywhere you want. Can I live on someone's property just because I want to? Can I live on Mars just because I want?
You're missing out, it was good wholesome entertainment with moral lessons and was genuinely heart warming. I'm in my 30s and watch an episode of it every couple of weeks, never too old for cartoons.
This is sad... elderly people are most often forgotten and left on their own by the young, not realizing that the young would one day turns old too.. Helping each other is not a crime, I hope we (and I myself) can help people in need.
not true..most of the time they are not "forgotten"...most time is simply NATURE. The old you get, the more chances there is that people you know would die. They are alone because everyone else in their life DIED. It's nature. Go out and meet new people. Why is the STATE responsible for the fact that old people are lonely? WHy it's not their OWN RESPONSABILITY?
"working hard for your country"....no dude..if your pension is only 6000 dollars a year after 40 years of work it's because you DID NOT work hard or you did some stupid choices when you were young. Stop assuming that old people are right only because they are old.
Johnny im replying because ik more than u think i worked since the age of 15,was making 70 k a year paid for insurance thru work in case something would happen and it did had severe injury at the age 43,the insurances long term disability only pays you for 2 years because the government allowed changes to the long term disability of insurance companies because a few took advantage of it the rest suffer.I am now on my government disability and make 12 k a year and live with disabilities due to my accident.Plus it was another person fault i got hurt.I was thrown to the curb like most seniors nowadays.
@@legneil that's because you live in a shitty country with shit medical care... In Japan medical treatment is state subsidised, your excuse doesn't hold any ground. That's a problem with insurance, it's not an old people's problem.
@@freedomordeath89 another idiot who thinks that working hard always works out. Most new businesses fail and its rarely due to lack if hard work on the part of the owner. Furthermore as youve been given an example of how external factors can affect a persons ability to be fully prepared for retirement instead of acknowledging it you just move the goal posts and say thats not relevant in japan? Do you think a world where everyone has the chance to be massively successful is even possible? If we all start working hard and making the right choices who would be doing all the shit jobs that have no hope of providing a good future but are integral to a functional society? Who whould clean for a living, or look after your kids, or collect our waste. Dont use you personal experience to extrapolate what others should be able to achieve there is too much nuance involved.
My mother is 66 (will turn 67 soon) and she works in an elderly nursery home taking care of even older/sick people. note: retirement age in my country, Portugal, is 66. After my family lost almost everything after an armed robbery at our family owned business she couldn't face it anymore due to trauma. She was 50 back then and that was the only place that would give work to a 50 year old woman; heavy work for the minimum wage. Back then the minimum wage was 437€/month, today is only a bit more, 600€/month. My father is 77, he already retired, but the pension is so miserable that he still works. I don't understand why in a country like Japan, people over 60 are considered elderly.
@exposed yt that breakdown is neccessary to increase profits. Close families keep more of their money because they share resources. You need to isolate people then they will always be buying something. You can sell a 20kg bag of rice to a family of 10 for $50 but if you split it into 2kg bags to sell to two ppl at a time suddenly youre making a $100.
They're not doing this because they're lonely; they don't have enough to live on. Three hots and a cot in prison is better than sleeping on the street and starving.
Usually it's because their spouses die or they aren't in contact with their children or don't have children. Literally no one to go to and no money, what are you to do?
@@Nimbereth Except China,because one of the Chinese Norms is Filial Piety.So an attempt to do so will got a bunch of degrading comments such as "You are an unfilial child!"
Kara Creswell Because you grow in an environment of sociopathy and not all elderly are good people. Narcissism they pass to their "hardworking" kids bites them later. Money is on top of the food chain. People are all dead already. Once they see it will be too late.
And I am sure that taxing younger people so overworked and overstressed that they literally sleep at their desks and have an epidemic of suicide to pay for the elderly who can do nothing is your solution?
@@ColinTherac117 the so called suicide epidemic in the norm in japan. ( can breathing be an epidemic if everyone is doing it) they've been killing themselves in large numbers for centuries. Karosh (death by overwork is a relatively modern phenomenon ) working endlessly in a sense of dedication to the company (clan), kills approx 150 per 100k; 2001 stats. There is also infanticide called Mabiki this usually happens in modern times when a mother who faces some type of hardship like divorce, her husband's death, poverty ect. The mother feels that killing herself is the only honorable thing to do (saving face). And if she left her children alive they would face shame and ridicule or worse, so she kills herself and the children. In the ancient past if a child was found homeless, familyless the village would adopt (essentially involuntary slavery) or kill them depending on the economic times. Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, and they have very strict gun laws (disproving that guns are a major factor/cause in suicide) so they find other methods, like using the Fugu fish poison, which can be obtained from your local friendly fishmonger of sushi chef, or jumping out of a window, hanging, etc. I could go into this more, but I've wasting my time as it is. The solution is for Japan to increase their population they currently have the lowest birth rate in the world. Meaning among other things, that in less than 50-100 years there will be no native Japanese in Japan. So I would assume another country will slip in and take over the island, China, Philippines? who knows. They've tried various things like free medical to cover birth cost (but they have a very excellent public health care system), extra dollars for children but that doesn't seem to be working at this time. Another traditional option that worked in their ancient past is to have the elderly kill themselves. THe elderly sensing that their time has come would march off in to the woods and die, there's ample evidence of this happening in the past. This would reduce the cost to the nation and perhaps save the younger generation (and or nation?) you're so worried about, if it's not too late.
I'm a filipino teen and this really made me sad,in our culture we always stick to our family,parents,grandparents,great grand parents etc etc and there's now a law in our country that you could go to jail if you reject your elders,these people won't feel alone if their kids had paid more attention to them and care for them as to pay their parents for taking care of them till they've grown
No, dumb, the problem is that this woman doesnt have money, helping her would mean giving her MONEY. If you want to give her money, BE MY GUEST! Sorry but I don't have money to gift to old people just because they are old.
Japan never fails to surprise me, imagine the biggest problem regarding crime in your country are old people who intentionally want to go to Jail. Japans extremly low crime rates would even be lower without this.
@Northern Wealth Anarchy Perimeter : Yeah and i guess diversity is the reason for the high crime rate in latin and south america right? You big foolyou
low crime rates but a fucked up strict-authoritarian society obsessed with "honor"..better have more crimes but living with people and not with drones.
@Northern Wealth Anarchy Perimeter you are dumb, there's lots of diversity in japan. or do you think that all Japanese are the same? You are dumb. Camerun should be paradise by your standard. The problem is CULTURE and POVERTY, not "diversity". Slavic countries are not diverse, theres only slavs living in them...and they got huge % of crime, HIV, corruption etc..why? Accordying to you they should be living in a paradise!
@A Newure ''Police are just as scummy there as they are in other places'' ok but still other places have more crime according to police data? you realize how flawed your argument is right?
Imo, They should make a policy for encouraging youngsters to live with the elderly. Rents and living spaces in Japan, especially Tokyo are crazy, this would both ease the burden on housing demand, and give elderly people company and health related oversight and ease this issue
no, from what I heard Japanese prisons are pretty much hardcore, super authoritarian and strict...and the whole japanese criminal system is pretty much fucked up...conviction rates of 99%. Basically they are "too much/too dedicated" in everything they do, and prison is not the exception.
@@djawnsjhilson218 Not if they were given a transcript or audio file alone (which does happen frequently) also could be an issue if the translators mother tongue is japanese.
If we spend the same amount of money we used to take care of jails on nursing homes we will have no problems. Since most of us are now bringing up children that can care less about us when we get old. Yes is sad.
Why freeze and starve in the streets when you can get a bed, 3 meals a day access to medical care and a roof over your head. Not saying all jails offer such things but for me if I'm homeless I will weigh up my best options. After all it's a creation of society isn't it? My belief too is that family should take care of family, too much greed in the world today.
which makes me wonder, why the heavier inmate like rapist, serial murderer get 3 meals a day with warm cell, should have make them barely living like eat once every 3 day or so -_-
To note - this is a problem, a sad one, in several other countries, and it'll become worse as negative birth rates starts pressuring societies more and more. Japan is obviously on the forefront on this, but it's far from being the only one, and most developed countries are following a similar trajectory. The reason why we hear more about Japan is two fold - first, because of how international press decided to label Japan. It has basically become the linchpin country for topics such as negative birth rates, a society of elderly people, weird fetishes, suicide and overwork, cleanliness, punctuality, among others (it's not all negative). What most people watching content like that don't often realize and are often not informed of is that their own countries might not be as different in those terms as they'd think. Because you should notice, pieces about Japan almost never make any comparison to other countries... it's almost always about highlighting something about the country itself without comprehensive global context (Japan is different, let's not talk about how different in comparison to other countries it is). For most of those topics Japan might be in the top 10 or 100, but it's almost never number one. And there are some egregious topics that Japan is kinda average despite always being selected as a bizarre extreme of some sort - such as long work hours, or suicide. I know people won't believe me, try searching for updated global statistics. The other fold would be how relatively easy it is to cover such subjects there in comparison to several other countries. Kind of a weird mix perhaps, but the way I understand it is more or less like this: Japanese people are very reserved, they don't like to complain about their problems, they don't like for these things to be out in public, and there is a higher degree of being privacy conscious there. Comes from a collectivist society that is vertically structured, seniority based, with lots of people that are very status conscious. This leads to a whole ton of different problems, but it's the way a collectivist society usually behaves. But on the other hand, if you are an external element to the community trying to understand and willing to discuss problems they care about, while still preserving privacy, they will expose everything that is needed to you, no problems. As long as you are not plastering their faces on videos and publications, lots of japanese people will discuss and talk about everything they find relevant regarding societal issues. In any case, it's a sad topic. People are living longer overall in the world, which is a great thing, but most societies are not propped up to deal with the explosive growth in elder population.
I read about this a while ago. A lot of elderly people gathered at hospitals too. Japan is socially sort of "bankrupt" as there are going to be more elderly people than young people, and they aren't taking immigrants.
I always expected oriental nations to have more care for their elders as a cultural thing. Maybe that is still true and reports like this do not actually depict the entire situation, I dunno. But still these reports coming out of Japan, S.Korea and China are discerning. My family is ethnically Chinese, so like, it is expected of us to take care of our elderly. That is why my house is almost always a 3-generation household. (We swap our grandparents to stay with cousins on occasions.)
I'm glad I have 40 years of work and paying into Social Security as at 65 and none wants to hire at that age I'm glad I am at the top of the pay scale as I get $1775 a month (we got a raise this month mine $135.00) but that's still under the poverty level by a few dollars and it's hard to pay everything I have in bills and now this sounds like a way to get caught up! They can't stop my SSI so a year or 2 in prison getting all my medical taken care of (I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor with brain surgery added) I'll be living on the top of the world with 3 squares and a bed for however long it takes! Thanks for the idea! Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys!!
It's an enormous problem and growing because Japan's demography is lots of old people, very few children being born and adults working insane hours to make ends meet.
Yes, it's not because of demographics but because of culture, they are obsessed with following rules and have a fucked up working environment, so you live your life just for working. And guess what? Once you get old and can't work anymore you basically lost everything since you had no time prior to build up networks, family or hobbies. You reap what you sew.
I wish they would hire someone like me. I manage many different senior communities and we keep them busy with endless activities and they are really good at taking care of each other. A big problem with doing the in Japan might be the lack of space. But, I’m sure they could make their own unique version of senior community living.
Dang this is the bad side of Japan... is they’ve become less connected with each other... People need to start moving back to the country-side of Japan and living of the land, bring the small towns back to life and the close friendships/communities/families back to life. In my culture family is the utmost IMPORTANT thing in the world.. wether we have all the money in the world or nothing at all, as long as we have family, we stick together through good times or bad! If you don’t have family you will become lonely and end up this way.
They work all life and when they get old they discover that they have no connections. In the country, it would be the same. The problem is that the Japanese are obsessed with work and they forget about relations.
I saw this first hand. Last month I was arrested in Tokyo for trespassing. While I was being processed and awaiting my turn to see the prosecutor and judge, I noticed quite a bit of seniors there, probably a third were seniors. The rest were Chinese inmates and a few young Japanese guys. I remember seeing one senior too feeble to walk properly and having difficulty hearing his number when being called out by the officers.
@Dark of the knight hahaha. A bar, of all places. I was scammed. The bar drugged me, then placed me in the residential portion. They called the police, and I was arrested for trespassing. I had to pay the bar owner $7k for forgiveness....
@Dark of the knight I went out walking around and walked into a bar alone, which I learned is big no-no. If you look up "Roppongi spiked drink scam" you're going to find many, many other horror stories. I wanted to fight it, but it would mean I'd have to remain in jail for months, and it would cost way more with lawyer cost. We just paid those scumbags, and they quickly dropped the charges. The cops didn't care. I confessed, and they were happy enough with that.
same shit happens in the US too though, people get old then they're like fuckit just lock me up lol.....hell even younger ages they call it "going on vacation" or going "away for the summer" lol
As a nurse who has worked in the prison system and in nursing/rehab, the convicts get much better care than your grandma. The staffing ratios are more realistic and the care is better period! Nursing home are for profit and that's it!
I saw a homeless woman in a department store sitting on a bench ~ I could tell she was homeless because it looked like she had all her earthly possessions in her traveling cart ~ I walked over to her a put a 1000 yen in her hand and she gave me a smile that made me feel human again ~ It's hard to spot the homeless here in Japan because I think most of them try to hide it ~ But if you look hard enough you can find them ~ I use to see them all the time in Down Town Los Angeles where I'm from and have nothing but sympathy for them ~ No one wants to be homeless on a cold night ~
@@freedomordeath89~ Hi Johnny ~ It has to start somewhere so why not with me ~ Maybe it was a drop in the pocket but everything helps when you are on the losing end ~
@@rocksinger45 no you didn't change shit, an homeless person needs 10-20k a year. YOu giving her 5 bucks in charity is meaning less. Charity is meaningless, it's like giving out cash to addicts, you don't fix their problem like that.
I'm feeling sad that lonelyness is such a huge issue among so many social groups. All the time before we suffered hunger or illnesses but while we've overcome that, lonelyness is getting worse.
One of the most important ways to judge a society is how its poorest and most disadvantaged members are treated. When the poorest citizens of a country, particularly s developed country, have to resort to crime to survive, it's not a good sign!
In some countries, being homeless is a better option than being in prison. Japan's prison is among the most humane in term of the treatment of their prisoners, that's why people committed crime on purpose.
A society is judged by how it treats its elderly, what does this say about Japan. But even worse look at how we here at home in the U.S. treat our elderly I know from experience it is pitiful. My parents did not spend one day in a nursing home we couldn't afford it for one thing and even if we could I thought more of them than to stick them in a place like that. But with a lot of people out of sight out of mind is there choice they go with, if you can live with yourself that's your choice. Or if you find a good home for them. I couldn't trust anyone else.
Ok some people will not understand it but here in India and other countries. Even after you marry you still live with your parents and take care them of till they die. This process repeats itself. But nowdays work in other cities lead to parents living alone. So if you have a chance I would suggest live with your parents. It's better to live in your mom basement and take care of them then being lonely and sleeping on streets. Sadly I don't see it in America and often see people joking that how some people live in their mom basement
It isn't sad at all. I'm in same board with them. I'm only in 40's and having sad lonely life. I did thought about this idea. Get caught in crime simply and get jailed. At least people take care of me. Safer to be in jail. I know how heart breaking to be lonely.

Actually, in Japan many people who find themselves out of a job or homeless turn to petty crime to try and get incarcerated on purpose. This is because not only do Japanese prisons provide a comfortable place to sleep and three meals a day as described in the video, but they also have 'rehabilitation programs' designed so that those incarcerated learn skills which make them employable. For example, they learn how to weave, manage machinery, etc. so that when they get out of prison they can seek a job at industrial factories, etc.
It’s not even about families not helping the elderly. Some are in their 80s and 90s, outlive their children, and don’t have the money to survive on their own. They literally have no one to help them.
It’s unlikely you’re gonna outlive all your children
But they only had 1 or 2, even then, the old person should be able to crash at their nieces and nephews
That’s assuming their kids had children and many Japanese young adults don’t due to costs and lack of work life balance

There is something seriously wrong in our society today.

what's wrong? Its just nature. If you get to 80 and never build up a pension for yourself its obvious that you are going to be poor and alone. What is your solution? Making YOUNG PEOPLE pay MORE for the old ones? It would be a system impossible to sustain. Old people need to accept the fact that they are old. if you have no community when you are old it's probably because you fucked up your life before, or you are so old that all your connections died...in both cases there's nothing that the state can do for you. You gotta fix yourlife by yourself, not wait for someone else to do it.

My mother is 66 (will turn 67 soon) and she works in an elderly nursery home taking care of even older/sick people.
note: retirement age in my country, Portugal, is 66.
After my family lost almost everything after an armed robbery at our family owned business she couldn't face it anymore due to trauma. She was 50 back then and that was the only place that would give work to a 50 year old woman; heavy work for the minimum wage. Back then the minimum wage was 437€/month, today is only a bit more, 600€/month.
My father is 77, he already retired, but the pension is so miserable that he still works.
I don't understand why in a country like Japan, people over 60 are considered elderly.
Porque essa é a idade padrão desde sempre, até os espartanos se aposentavam com secenta.

@exposed yt that breakdown is neccessary to increase profits. Close families keep more of their money because they share resources.

Japan is the Florida of Asia it would seem.
It will be a new trend as our ageing population is Increasing...
this was caused by the gov. as they have reduced the pension going to the elderly by approx 30-40 percent in the past 15 years
And I am sure that taxing younger people so overworked and overstressed that they literally sleep at their desks and have an epidemic of suicide to pay for the elderly who can do nothing is your solution?
@@ColinTherac117 the so called suicide epidemic in the norm in japan. ( can breathing be an epidemic if everyone is doing it) they've been killing themselves in large numbers for centuries. Karosh (death by overwork is a relatively modern phenomenon ) working endlessly in a sense of dedication to the company (clan), kills approx 150 per 100k; 2001 stats. There is also infanticide called Mabiki this usually happens in modern times when a mother who faces some type of hardship like divorce, her husband's death, poverty ect. The mother feels that killing herself is the only honorable thing to do (saving face). And if she left her children alive they would face shame and ridicule or worse, so she kills herself and the children. In the ancient past if a child was found homeless, familyless the village would adopt (essentially involuntary slavery) or kill them depending on the economic times. Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, and they have very strict gun laws (disproving that guns are a major factor/cause in suicide) so they find other methods, like using the Fugu fish poison, which can be obtained from your local friendly fishmonger of sushi chef, or jumping out of a window, hanging, etc. I could go into this more, but I've wasting my time as it is. The solution is for Japan to increase their population they currently have the lowest birth rate in the world. Meaning among other things, that in less than 50-100 years there will be no native Japanese in Japan. So I would assume another country will slip in and take over the island, China, Philippines? who knows. They've tried various things like free medical to cover birth cost (but they have a very excellent public health care system), extra dollars for children but that doesn't seem to be working at this time. Another traditional option that worked in their ancient past is to have the elderly kill themselves. THe elderly sensing that their time has come would march off in to the woods and die, there's ample evidence of this happening in the past. This would reduce the cost to the nation and perhaps save the younger generation (and or nation?) you're so worried about, if it's not too late.
I'm a filipino teen and this really made me sad,in our culture we always stick to our family,parents,grandparents,great grand parents etc etc and there's now a law in our country that you could go to jail if you reject your elders,these people won't feel alone if their kids had paid more attention to them and care for them as to pay their parents for taking care of them till they've grown
If we all cared about the elderly before we become elders then this. Issue would be nonexistent
No, dumb, the problem is that this woman doesnt have money, helping her would mean giving her MONEY. If you want to give her money, BE MY GUEST! Sorry but I don't have money to gift to old people just because they are old.
Japan never fails to surprise me, imagine the biggest problem regarding crime in your country are old people who intentionally want to go to Jail.
Japans extremly low crime rates would even be lower without this.
@Northern Wealth Anarchy Perimeter : Yeah and i guess diversity is the reason for the high crime rate in latin and south america right? You big foolyou

@A Newure ''Police are just as scummy there as they are in other places'' ok but still other places have more crime according to police data? you realize how flawed your argument is right?
Sometimes living to 100 years old can be a problem
The Japanese system has failed them……
Imo, They should make a policy for encouraging youngsters to live with the elderly. Rents and living spaces in Japan, especially Tokyo are crazy, this would both ease the burden on housing demand, and give elderly people company and health related oversight and ease this issue
Wow, I was always under the impression that Japanese took care of their elderly and held great reverence for them.
I feel like Japanese jails would have the most respectful inmates ever. 180 degrees from American jails.
no, from what I heard Japanese prisons are pretty much hardcore, super authoritarian and strict...and the whole japanese criminal system is pretty much fucked up...conviction rates of 99%. Basically they are "too much/too dedicated" in everything they do, and prison is not the exception.

Why freeze and starve in the streets when you can get a bed, 3 meals a day access to medical care and a roof over your head.

which makes me wonder, why the heavier inmate like rapist, serial murderer get 3 meals a day with warm cell, should have make them barely living like eat once every 3 day or so -_-
To note - this is a problem, a sad one, in several other countries, and it'll become worse as negative birth rates starts pressuring societies more and more. Japan is obviously on the forefront on this, but it's far from being the only one, and most developed countries are following a similar trajectory.
The reason why we hear more about Japan is two fold - first, because of how international press decided to label Japan. It has basically become the linchpin country for topics such as negative birth rates, a society of elderly people, weird fetishes, suicide and overwork, cleanliness, punctuality, among others (it's not all negative).
What most people watching content like that don't often realize and are often not informed of is that their own countries might not be as different in those terms as they'd think. Because you should notice, pieces about Japan almost never make any comparison to other countries... it's almost always about highlighting something about the country itself without comprehensive global context (Japan is different, let's not talk about how different in comparison to other countries it is).
For most of those topics Japan might be in the top 10 or 100, but it's almost never number one. And there are some egregious topics that Japan is kinda average despite always being selected as a bizarre extreme of some sort - such as long work hours, or suicide.
I know people won't believe me, try searching for updated global statistics.
The other fold would be how relatively easy it is to cover such subjects there in comparison to several other countries. Kind of a weird mix perhaps, but the way I understand it is more or less like this: Japanese people are very reserved, they don't like to complain about their problems, they don't like for these things to be out in public, and there is a higher degree of being privacy conscious there. Comes from a collectivist society that is vertically structured, seniority based, with lots of people that are very status conscious. This leads to a whole ton of different problems, but it's the way a collectivist society usually behaves.
But on the other hand, if you are an external element to the community trying to understand and willing to discuss problems they care about, while still preserving privacy, they will expose everything that is needed to you, no problems. As long as you are not plastering their faces on videos and publications, lots of japanese people will discuss and talk about everything they find relevant regarding societal issues.
In any case, it's a sad topic. People are living longer overall in the world, which is a great thing, but most societies are not propped up to deal with the explosive growth in elder population.
I read about this a while ago. A lot of elderly people gathered at hospitals too. Japan is socially sort of "bankrupt" as there are going to be more elderly people than young people, and they aren't taking immigrants.
I always expected oriental nations to have more care for their elders as a cultural thing. Maybe that is still true and reports like this do not actually depict the entire situation, I dunno. But still these reports coming out of Japan, S.Korea and China are discerning.
My family is ethnically Chinese, so like, it is expected of us to take care of our elderly. That is why my house is almost always a 3-generation household. (We swap our grandparents to stay with cousins on occasions.)
This reminds me again that i should invest in my pension plan while im still young and able to work!

Yes, it's not because of demographics but because of culture, they are obsessed with following rules and have a fucked up working environment, so you live your life just for working. And guess what? Once you get old and can't work anymore you basically lost everything since you had no time prior to build up networks, family or hobbies. You reap what you sew.

A big problem with doing the in Japan might be the lack of space. But, I’m sure they could make their own unique version of senior community living.
No lack of space. There are many community centres and communal buildings. It's possible.
Dang this is the bad side of Japan... is they’ve become less connected with each other... People need to start moving back to the country-side of Japan and living of the land, bring the small towns back to life and the close friendships/communities/families back to life.
In my culture family is the utmost IMPORTANT thing in the world.. wether we have all the money in the world or nothing at all, as long as we have family, we stick together through good times or bad! If you don’t have family you will become lonely and end up this way.
They work all life and when they get old they discover that they have no connections. In the country, it would be the same. The problem is that the Japanese are obsessed with work and they forget about relations.
I saw this first hand. Last month I was arrested in Tokyo for trespassing. While I was being processed and awaiting my turn to see the prosecutor and judge, I noticed quite a bit of seniors there, probably a third were seniors. The rest were Chinese inmates and a few young Japanese guys. I remember seeing one senior too feeble to walk properly and having difficulty hearing his number when being called out by the officers.

I've always said it here in the UK. The old folk in care would be better off in prison and the prisoners deserve to be in run-down care homes.
Not really true, entirely depends on the prison. Some are absolute crap
In some countries, being homeless is a better option than being in prison. Japan's prison is among the most humane in term of the treatment of their prisoners, that's why people committed crime on purpose.
A society is judged by how it treats its elderly, what does this say about Japan. But even worse look at how we here at home in the U.S. treat our elderly I know from experience it is pitiful. My parents did not spend one day in a nursing home we couldn't afford it for one thing and even if we could I thought more of them than to stick them in a place like that. But with a lot of people out of sight out of mind is there choice they go with, if you can live with yourself that's your choice. Or if you find a good home for them. I couldn't trust anyone else.
That prison food looks as good as food from food courts!
Ok some people will not understand it but here in India and other countries. Even after you marry you still live with your parents and take care them of till they die. This process repeats itself. But nowdays work in other cities lead to parents living alone. So if you have a chance I would suggest live with your parents. It's better to live in your mom basement and take care of them then being lonely and sleeping on streets. Sadly I don't see it in America and often see people joking that how some people live in their mom basement
