Economic and social policies have unnecessarily reduced their financial security

Unfortunately, a large percentage of the elderly population in Japan cannot afford elderly care facilities or care workers, and their family members are often unable to support them in old age. Many live alone, facing isolation, and some die alone. Since the homeownership rate is less than 61%, many do not own their accommodation and have little or nothing to leave to their children, which can further weaken family ties. Anyone can easily see that economic and social policies have unnecessarily reduced their financial security.
