Ageing lessons from Japan - - Part 3: The country's National Institute of Population and Social Security Research says in the first country to seriously experience the natural process of ageing, that the population, which began to decline in 2005, is now expected to fall from 127.5m in 2009 to below 120m by 2025 and to 90m by 2055. At the same time, the country’s 27m elderly - - those aged over 65 - - will account for more than one-third (33.7%) of the total population by 2035 and for one out of every 2.5 people by 2055.
