How Population Aging Reshapes Intergenerational Care Obligations

Quick fact

In Japan, the percentage of people over 65 is over 28%, and by 2060 nearly 40% of the population will be elderly. With fewer than two children per woman, there simply aren't enough younger family members to care for all these older adults, forcing society to invent new care models.

Why this is interesting

You’ve probably heard that populations are aging—but did you know that this is quietly rewriting the unwritten contract between generations about who cares for whom? Who will look after you when you're 95?
