When considering support for older adults, two perspectives are essential. The first is a system in which society supports older adults. The second is providing clinical support for individuals.
Japan was first defined as an ageing society in 1970 when the ageing rate (the percentage of the population aged 65 and over relative to the total population) reached 7 percent. Then, in 1994, it became an aged society when the ratio exceeded 14 percent. This transition took only 24 years, a remarkably short period compared to Western countries.
