Japan is shrinking! according to the article "The incredible shrinking country" by The Economist on March 25, 2014.

The message is very simple; the population in Japan is decreasing to 87 million until 2060, currently 127 million people, and increasing up to 40% which will be 65 or elder.
The solution seems simple; somebody says that Japan has to accept the immigrants, otherwise we will suffer with shortage of labor power.
It may right solution but I am still not sure if Japanese people accept the immigrants due to the history.
However, the question is; we, Japanese people, really wants to provide the opportunities for elderly people.
