Pranam While appreciating the above article I could not but present the real factor and not the virtual statistics of the percentage; by percentage ranking "yes"; but out of 4 the 25% is 1 and out of the Japanese population 2021 at 125 millions, it is just 36 million only only ranking 11th in quanta data. India and China have a population of 1388 and 1415 million in sos1 and in India the aged above 65 is 138 million people. The other national (10) you yourself may check for quantum. The ONLY ASPECT OF JAPAN IS THAT BETWEEN 1970 AND 2021 THE 65 YEARS POPULATION DOUBLED. THIS IS GRADUAL IN OTHER NATIONS. K R IRS 6322
