Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Japan's active
seniors show younger generation how it's done.
Aren’t you one of
those who are used with the stereotyped image of the elderly? Sitting in the
chair and watching TV most of the day, sleeping in the bed doing nothing all
day long, or walking slowly with a cane and sitting on a bench in the park just
seeing the passersby?
With a quarter of
the population are 65 or older, the highest among the developed countries, and
also with the longest life expectancies at 84, Japan is surely aging and even
faster in the coming years. The big question is how they should enjoy their last
decades, not just a few years, after retiring from work or relieved from caring
for children?
Enjoy reading the
article and watching the video of active seniors in the fast-aging country.
