This trend is seen as beneficial for Japan's economy, which faces challenges from a declining and aging population. Financial necessity, due to low pension incomes, is a primary reason for retirees returning to work. The Japanese government is gradually increasing the retirement age to 65 by 2025, but this may not significantly impact the working elderly. Additional resources are available at www.alimmenta.com.
