Annual Survey Reveals Record Number of Japanese are Worried about Their Lives

Posted by Bill Belew on September 9th, 2007 in Japan | No Comments

In an annual survey conducted since 1958 the Japanese have been asked if they worry about their lives.

A record percentage  – 69.5% said they are.

Worries:

1. life after retirement

2. health

75% of the respondents want the social security system to be reformed…and find all the money that was lost.

About half think more needs to be done to take care of the aging society.

The Japanee government lost 64 million pension records, more people are entering retirement, and less people are entering the work force.

Yup…the old folks would worry about such things, wouldn't they?

What do you worry most about?
