Aging society is a global issue
Aging society is a global issue. Although Japan is currently a front runner in this phenomena, most of the other countries will follow a similar path. Even India, a state of a relatively young population, will face the growing number of elderly in their society. Things happening in Japan is a futuristic view of their community.
Various questions were raised at the Q&A session: What is the safety net for the poor? How is the morality of respecting elderly in Japan? and etc.
