Problems of the Elderly Living in Yahata-Higashi Ward
Harumichi YUASA, Vice President, Kyushu International University
In addition to care problems, challenges concerning elderly people include lack of support for those who live alone and die in solitude. The lecture focused on situations of elderly residents in Yahata-Higashi Ward, Kitakyushu City, since the ward particularly suffers from population aging due to outflow of young residents as well as falling birthrates. After discussing the present situation of the ward, the speaker explained measures taken by authorities and community organizations. Following the lecture, lively discussions were held, involving audience members about initiatives for the future of Japan’s aging society.
