Japan Ranks Number One in Percentage of Elderly

Nobody does old goats like Japan does.

The top three countries in the world in terms of elderly ratio are

3. Germany – 18.8%

2. Italy – 19.7%

1. Japan – 20.1%

One in five people in Japan are over 65-years old…the highest among 37 nations with populations of 30 million or more.japanese.elderly.jpg

The United States was number 11.

Just 7 years ago, Japan was number 2 with 17.3% of the nation at 65-years or older.

By, 2055, Japan will have 2 out of five people 65 or

older.

Japan has 3.3 people working for every one person over 65 now. In 2055, it will only 1.3 persons per elderly.

Seems to me that if a person wanted to live long, they would have Japanese/Italian/German genes in them….

How long would you like to live?
