What is the difference between the life of the elderly in Japan and our country?

When we choose to travel abroad, not only to feel the exotic customs, but also to see the life of the tourist country, after all, each country has its own history and culture, so there are naturally differences in some living habits. Even some of our neighbors, which are very close to our country, have a different rhythm from our country. In the case of Japan, visitors to Japan can definitely see that there is still a difference between life in Japan and ours.

In terms of the lives of the elderly, the lives of the elderly in China and the elderly in Japan are somewhat different. When I traveled in Japan before, I would find that during commuting hours, I could still see some gray-haired elderly people waiting for the bus with briefcases, and even in the subway station, there were many of these elderly "office workers". It is said that because Japan is a country with a serious aging population, the population is insufficient and there is a shortage of labor, so the retirement age has been postponed.

The retirement age is 10 years later than in China, and the elderly in Japan retire at the age of 70, and if they reach the age but still want to continue working, the elderly in Japan can still work like this.

The current retirement age of the elderly in China is 60 years old for men and 55 years old for women, and they can live a "leisurely" retirement life earlier than the Japanese. When they don't have to go to work, most elderly Chinese people are not idle. On the streets of China, you can still see some elderly people working as sanitation workers, and some elderly people choose to work as cleaners.

And the elderly who do not have a job basically have to help their children raise their children, that is, take care of their grandchildren.

When children are busy with work, the elderly in China will basically take care of their grandchildren's food, clothing, housing and transportation, take their grandchildren to and from school every day, be responsible for the family's three meals a day, and also need to do some housework. But in their spare time, they will have their own "entertainment projects", such as walking outside, square dancing, practicing tai chi, playing chess, etc. If possible, they will also organize their own friends to travel together.

Because of Chinese tradition, most of the elderly will live with their children after retirement, in fact, there is also a bit of the traditional concept of "raising children to prevent old age, and the old have something to rely on".

This is not the case for the elderly in Japan, who rarely choose to live with their children even if they are not working, and do not have regular contact unless they need help. Except for some more traditional families in Japan, most of the elderly in Japan and their children live relatively independently, and they choose to live their own lives, and Japanese children do not often give their parents living expenses, because the elderly in Japan have their own pensions. Compared to China, this phenomenon in Japan sounds cold, but it is also widespread, but if there is any problem with the parents' health, Japanese children will also take responsibility.

Looking at it this way, the lives of the elderly in China and the elderly in Japan are still very different, mainly due to the customs and culture of the two countries. After seeing the differences, friends with peers said that they were fortunate to retire in China! But I think in fact, this does not say which one is good and which is not good, it mainly depends on which lifestyle the elderly choose, as long as it is what they like, as children, of course, they will cooperate and support.

Japanese people still like to work outside the home when they are old, while Chinese people like to enjoy life at home and take care of their children after retirement.

Japanese people also like to work outside the home when they are old, which is very different from the elderly in China, and the Japanese elderly will not bring children to their children, they enjoy their old age.

What is the life of the elderly in Japan? Let's take a look with the immigration network! Welcome to the reading.

The life of the elderly in Japan

In the past few days in Japan, I have observed the life of the elderly in Japan roughly, and I have a lot of feelings, so I will talk about it.

I observe that the lives of the elderly in Japan are very differentiated, one is in tourist attractions, bustling streets or hot spring hotels, there are many Japanese old ** people who forget to return, eat, drink, and have fun. When I bought cakes at a famous cake shop in Xinbiqiao Commercial Street, there were many elderly Japanese people lining up in front of me; The second is that in small restaurants, inns and taxis, there are too many silver-haired old people doing these jobs, all of them are doing work at a trot, which is very distressing.

The old woman of the hotel. This is when I took a taxi, I quietly took a picture of the nameplate of the taxi driver in the back seat.

With doubts, I asked the tour guide, who was a Beijinger who had been in Japan for ten years, and he told me:

First, Japanese young people do not like to do low-level work, and there is a large labor gap, so such jobs can be divided into different time periods such as morning, afternoon, and evening to recruit workers or international students. That's why it's very busy to see the silver-haired old man in Japan.

The second is that the Japanese elderly do not spend money on hospitalization at the age of 70, so they do not have the burden of high medical expenses, save money to keep some of the pension, and the rest can play and soak in hot springs in a chic manner.

Third, the elderly in Japan basically don't have to look after their children. He asked his mother-in-law to help take care of the child, and the father-in-law said: The child was born to you, and it is your own responsibility to take care of the child, and we should not look after the child.

In addition, the child actually lives with you completely for only five years, (because Japanese children go to school at the age of five), after school, only one-third of him belongs to you, less than one-tenth after work, and even less than one-tenth after marriage, so cherish this period of time, cultivate the child according to their own requirements, let the child have good quality, good habits, and a good grateful heart, and the child will not leave you.

I feel that the elderly Japanese are very chic, whether they are working or playing, they do whatever they want.

China has entered an aging society, more and more elderly people have brought severe challenges to China's pension problem, how to provide for the elderly in the future, this has always been a national discussion of the issue, but also a hot topic for the whole people. China's future pension problem still needs to be solved and improved, how to solve the problem of the Japanese elderly to our country pension, it is obviously unrealistic, this is a fantasy, is likely to be a gimmick hyped by individual institutions.

There is a news circulating on the Internet that 100,000 elderly people in Japan have come to China to retire, and the location was chosen in Shandong, is this true? It is said that this news has been around for a long time, and it is an event jointly launched by an institution of the Center for Healthy China Research and an institution in Japan. There is no official information on the Internet**, there is no official interpretation of the incident, and the existence of this institution of the Healthy China Research Center may not be compliant.

As for this agency in Japan, it is simply not available, so we have reason to suspect that this is a gimmick hyped by merchants.

Aside from this news, the problem of aging in Japan is already very serious, and I believe that many netizens have paid attention to this news on the Internet. More and more elderly people in Japan are not well cared for in their home countries, and many of them live alone and live in loneliness. There are also such problems in my country, so everyone has been discussing the question of how to provide for the elderly.

How should we give care and care to the elderly? How to give the elderly a good old age? It is necessary to ensure their basic material living conditions as well as to ensure that their spiritual life is prosperous, so this is an issue that the whole society must consider.

China's aging problem is also very serious, China's pension problem needs to be improved and solved, if in this case also accept the Japanese elderly to our country to care for the elderly is very unrealistic, but also will increase China's pension pressure. When people are old, they all talk about returning to their roots, and the old people in Japan and the old people in China were born in traditional countriesEven if there are institutions willing to match, the elderly in Japan may not be willing to come to our country for the elderly, so I see this news as a gimmick hyped by a business.

Such a problem needs to be dealt with in a timely manner, otherwise it will affect the development of our country and bring many unfavorable factors, so we must face up to the problem of pension.

I think this matter should be fake, most people have no way to accept such a thing, want to go to China on a large scale for the elderly, and want to complete the difficulty index is relatively large.

I think that we should first solve the pension problem in our country, and then talk about it, there are many problems in our country that have not been solved, and there is no need to let the elderly from other countries come over.

My view is that this will bring a certain pension problem to our country, and at the same time, China's aging is also aggravating, and I hope to solve such problems as soon as possible and standardize them as soon as possible.

Compared with Japan, China's aging population has the following differences:1Rate of Aging:

Japan's aging population is more serious than China's. Japan has one of the world's oldest populations, with more than 28% of the population over the age of 65. The rate of ageing in China is also accelerating, but at a relatively slow pace, with about 12% of the population now over the age of 65.

2.Population size: China's population size is much larger than Japan's, which also means that China may face greater challenges in the face of an aging population.

China has a large elderly population and needs support in terms of elderly care services, medical care, and social welfare. 3.Economic Impact:

The impact of aging on the economy also varies. Japan's aging population has led to a labor shortage and a shrinking consumer market, posing a challenge to economic growth. China, on the other hand, has a relatively small impact on the labor market due to its large labor pool, but it needs to deal with economic pressures in terms of pensions and medical expenses.

For the news that 100,000 Japanese elderly people are coming to China for the elderly, the Chinese people feel very incredible. Japan is a developed country, both in terms of economic strength and social environment. 100,000 elderly people in Japan are coming to China for the elderly, and the Chinese people are also very worried.

Japan has changed dramatically in 100 years, and many elderly people in Japan want to go to other countries to retire because they feel that the burden of providing for the elderly in Japan is too heavy. So what is the reaction of the Chinese people to the work of Japanese elderly people coming to China to care for the elderly? Here's what I think:

First, the Chinese people think that it is inconceivable that 100,000 Japanese elderly people want to come to China for the elderly.

Hearing that 100,000 elderly people in Japan will come to China for the elderly, many Chinese people feel very incredible. Because the Chinese people feel that the elderly in Japan can enjoy good pension conditions in Japan, they don't understand why they want to come to China to retire.

Second, Japan's social environment is certainly better than China's.

Japan is an old developed country, and this country is at the forefront of the world in terms of economic strength and social environment. Therefore, seeing that 100,000 elderly people in Japan will come to China to retire, many Chinese people expressed their incomprehension.

3. If 100,000 Japanese elderly people come to China for retirement, the Chinese people will feel very worried.

However, if there are really 100,000 Japanese elderly people who want to come to China to retire, then many Chinese people will also feel very worried. Because China's pension facilities and pension benefits are not particularly superior, China's own pension resources are very lacking, if the Japanese elderly are coming to China to retire, then the Chinese elderly pension resources will be even more lacking. This will also make many Chinese unable to enjoy good old-age facilities and conditions after they get old.

It must be refused, our country is already seriously aging, and if they move here, the situation will be even worse.

I feel incredible and worried about this news, how can Japan, as a developed country, not be able to support the elderly, and worry about whether their treatment will decline if they bear their pension.

The reaction of the Chinese people to this news was very resistant, and many people said that they did not want the Japanese to come.

The happiest thing in life is to be able to do what you want to do in your old age, we will have some regrets when we are young, for example, we have not traveled, we have not seen the scenery, many people are waiting until they retire, and then one by one to complete their dreams when they were young, so that their lives do not leave regrets.

But this is not the case in all countries, to be honest, the first time I saw the elderly in Japan was shocking, in our country, the old people with gray hair are basically retired, receiving their own pensions, and living out their old age, but in Nagano Prefecture, I saw too many old people with gray hair and still working on the front line!

Nagano Prefecture is a prefecture in Japan, and it is also one of the few agricultural prefectures in Japan, which is rich in sightseeing resources, and is one of the few tourist prefectures in Japan, and it is a place where many elderly people dream of living in their old age.

Many of the bus drivers in Nagano Prefecture are gray-haired elderly people, and some of the convenience store employees are not young people, but elderly people, which makes me wonder why they are all old people. Don't they have to retire? I didn't know until I asked a Japanese friend.

In Japan, the retirement age is not as good as in our country, fifty or sixty years old can be retired just after entering the year of the sixtieth year, Japan's retirement age is increasing almost every year, and now it has reached sixty or seventy years old to retire, although the average life expectancy of the Japanese is as high as eighty years old, but it is inevitable that you can retire after forty or fifty years of work, which will inevitably make people feel a little chilling.

This is also the reason why many Japanese have repeatedly opposed raising the retirement age, sixty or seventy years old to retire, may not have received much pension, has passed away, of course, this is also related to Japan's national conditions, Japanese families are different from our country, children have the obligation to support their parents, for Japan, managing themselves is the most important, many parents will live alone in their old age in order not to give more pressure to their children who work outside, do not trouble their children, and will not ask their children for living expenses.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that Japan has not enough labor, Japan has begun to gradually enter an aging country, there are not many young people, but the number of elderly people is increasing, therefore, in many places you can see polite Japanese taxi drivers and elderly people in convenience store overalls, for them, in their old age to do these is the easiest, but also the most able to relieve loneliness.

In the interview, many elderly people in Japan said that although life will inevitably be a little boring, and they miss their children, but now life is not bad, there are many elderly communities in Japan, where they can make a lot of friends, and they can also participate in activities and travel regularly, which is still very good.
