Turning to a related but different subject now, I would like to introduce a survey result, which reveals that concerns among the elderly about their living during retirement are noticeable in Japan compared to some other countries.
According to a survey on the daily lives and attitudes of the elderly conducted by the Cabinet Office in 2015, nearly 60 percent of the elderly in Japan consider that they do not have enough savings and assets to provide for retirement. This percentage is the highest among countries surveyed (Chart 8).
