THE number of people in Japan aged 65 or older hit a record high of 36.25 million this year, government data shows, as the country contends with one of the world’s fastest-ageing societies.

The elderly now account for 29.3 per cent of Japan’s total population, also a new high, according to data released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on Sunday.

The ministry said the proportion of elderly residents put Japan at the top of the list of 200 countries and regions with a population of over 100,000.
