The Lively People in Their 70s Supporting Japan
Last year, for the first time in Japan, the population aged 65 or over exceeded 30 million, and roughly 1 in every 4 people is now elderly. Now, attention is turning to people in their 70s. People in this age group supported Japan's post-war economic boom. Many of them are full of physical and mental energy, and want to continue being a help to society even now. We take a look at these Japanese people in their 70s, who continue stimulating the younger generation in both regional and leisure activities.
