Japan's supercentenarians exceed 100,000
The Japanese Ministry of Health announced that the number of centenarians in Japan has exceeded 100,000 for the first time, reaching 107,677 people as of early September 2026. Women account for approximately 90% of this figure. This number reflects the increasing average lifespan, despite the country's fertility rate dropping to its lowest level in history last year. These trends highlight a demographic crisis threatening Japan's economy and causing issues such as a shrinking workforce and rising social security costs.
