A government white paper on Japan’s aging population, released Friday, reported that nearly 40% of adults age 65 and older want to continue paid work. The figure is higher than results from the same survey conducted last year in the United States, Germany, and Sweden. In the United States, 24% of respondents gave the same answer; in Germany and Sweden the share was about 19%.
Another 25% said working helps them maintain health and slow aging. The white paper presents these survey results without additional policy recommendations.
