Over 107,000 Japanese women over a century
Japan has recorded over 107,000 people aged over 100 for the first time, marking the highest number in the country, with the figure increasing for the 56th consecutive year. Women make up the vast majority of centenarians, numbering around 94,000 women, compared to about 13,000 men. The average life expectancy in Japan is 87.3 years for women and 81.3 years for men. The rising number of elderly is attributed to advances in medical technology. Despite this, Japan faces a demographic crisis due to declining fertility rates, leading to a shortage of workforce and rising social security costs.
