Japan's biggest challenge: its aging population

The video discusses Japan's aging population and its impact on the economy. With one of the world's oldest populations and a low birth rate, Japan faces economic challenges as more people require care than those who can provide it. The government predicts a significant increase in the elderly population by 2025, raising fears of a recession. Many elderly, like Setsuko Katayama, are returning to work to support themselves, which helps the economy but limits their retirement enjoyment. The video highlights the struggle of Japan's economy amidst a global financial crisis, with more elderly entering the workforce.
