In 2022, around 29 percent of the total population in Japan was aged 65 years and older. Due to a low birth rate and high longevity, people aged 65 years and over were estimated to make up more than 38 percent of the population in Japan by 2070. The share of children below 15 years old was expected to decrease to around 10 percent by that year.
