This world. The great Japanese retirement
Description
A funny, irreverent and thought-provoking look at Japanese society, with reporter Anita Rani travelling across Japan to look at how a country copes when there are simply too many people living to a ripe old age and far too few having children. What is the effect on the economy with a massive pension and welfare bill falling on a shrinking workforce? And what does the fate of this creaking population mean for the rest of the world? While the global population keeps growing Japan's is shrinking. Low fertility, low birth rates and longer life expectancy leaves Japan with an old and rapidly aging population – with staggering economic and social implications.
