1.One hundred years of life: coming of age
Japan is proud of the highest life expectancy (84.5 years old) in the world, and it reaches the super low birthrate aging society that reaches the population of 29.3% over 65 years old. The three-stage life model of "receiving education - Retirement" is unable to cope with a long life of 100 years, and people face the need for a new life design.
1.1 the limits of traditional life: structure of anxiety and waste
In the past, the retirement age of 60 years old has not fulfilled half of the life now. After many years of retirement, many elderly people suffer from the hesitation and economic uneasiness of what they spend. In addition, there are few cases in which young people specialize in one specialized field will not be able to catch up with the change in the industrial structure and become difficult to relocate in the middle age. Thus, a fixed life model produces many waste and anxiety in a long life society.
1.2 social issues: impact
In the year 2025, all the "baby boomers" became older people over 75 years old, and the rapid
アダルトグッズ in nursing care and the sustainability of the pension system became a serious problem. According to the Ministry of health, labor and welfare, the number of dementia patients exceeds 443 million, and elderly people who need nursing will increase in the next decade. Under this situation, individuals must voluntarily implement "life design", including their health care, economic planning and social participation.
2.Design of life: 100 years of life
The core of the design of life 100 years is "flexibility" and "sustainability". Beyond the three-stage model, multiple stages of life combined with "learning period", "working period" and "rest period" are becoming mainstream.
2.1 health design: foundations for longevity
Health care is the most important factor for a long life. In Japan, the "community integrated care system" has spread, and home care, community medicine and preventive health cooperate to improve QOL of the elderly. In addition to regular health and exercise habits, mental health is essential. In "Nasu Machi Sokoban" in Tochigi Prefecture, elderly people cultivate the vegetable garden and participate in community activities, and they are compatible with the health of the body and mind.
2.2 career design: lifelong learning and diverse working costs
In the long life society, the idea of "one student life" became the past. Re education in the middle and advanced age and the development of the second career are becoming popular, and the government strengthens "the elderly employment stabilization law", and the enterprise supports the work of the elderly workers by introducing flex time and remote work in the enterprise. For example, in the manufacturing company of Tokyo, 70 years old technician tradition experiences as "technical adviser", and in the local farmhouse, the elderly people are active as the leaders of organic agriculture.
2.3 economic design
In order to eliminate economic unrest caused by longevity, in addition to the reform of the pension system in Japan, the plan of individual planning is important. While the number of subscribers to "ideco" has increased, middle-aged and older people are starting to invest in real estate investment and small amounts of investment. In addition, the tendency to diversify the income source by starting the homestay business which utilized the home in the elderly, and raising the small-scale business which utilized the hobby can be seen.
3. The practice of Japan: new life support for community and society
In Japan, the social system to support the individual life design and the regional community are gradually developed.
3.1 community creation and social participation in the elderly
In the region, the concept of "Centennial community" has
寝バック, and the number of opportunities for the elderly to contribute to the activation of the region is increasing. In Nasu machi sokobo, the residents jointly produce agriculture and the event management in the housing for the aged for the reconstruction of the closed school, and the circulation of the regional economy is generated. In this way, the models of "living worth" and the development of the community are becoming popular throughout the country.
3.2 institutional reform: building a whole generation of social security
The government promotes the "all generation type social security", and reforms the pension and the medical system to ensure the interpartiality fairness. For example, while raising the cost of medical expenses for high income elderly people, it is increasing the sustainability of long-term systems, such as suppressing the burden of insurance premiums for young people. In addition, the "learning support support system" which supports the lifelong learning is also substantiated, and the career change of the middle and advanced years is pushed up.
summary
The design chart of life 100 years is never fixed, and it can be flexibly adjusted according to your values and situations. The Japanese society is characterized by the social system and the community community. I hope that the society where various life design is respected will develop in the future.
