A recent study by Japan’s National Institute of Population and Social Security Research projects that by 2050, 47% of households in Kyushu and Okinawa will have heads aged 65 or older.

This trend highlights the urgent need for support systems to assist elderly residents. Source: National Institute of Population and Social Security Research
