Japan actually is an aging population, and so as the population has aged, they have had a lot more problems with health.

In Japan, the average age of agricultural workers is 65.8. When the aging of its population is accelerating so rapidly, it will be very difficult to sustain the sector whether we liberalize trade or not.

The problem of Italy is not really a question of age. Japan has an older population, and it is now in full economic recovery. The problem is that Italy is old in the structure of the society.

Compared with U.S. cities, Japanese cities bend over backward to help foreigners. The countryside is another matter.

The aging and declining population will have far-reaching impacts. Declining fertility rates will possibly increase immigration. The structure of family and society will inevitably change.

I think ageing demographics is a bigger issue in China than people think. And the problems it creates should be become evident as early as 2016.

Along with issues like global warming, I think a problem with the world today is population decline.

Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.

The good news is world population growth rate decreases systematically and is expected to reach zero by 2050, thanks to urbanisation and women's education.

People in Japan have experienced many tsunamis and various earthquakes throughout the ages.
