Elderly people in JapanObviously, there is a house, a car and a depositWhen he was old, he was forced to go bankruptTens of millions of old Japanese men are living in a mess.
Everyone knows that Japan is a very aging country, and at the same time, Japan's pension facilities are also quite complete, and Japanese old men can drive only on their pensions.
In addition, the food and housing of Japanese old men are not bad compared to other countries, why many Japanese elderly people are not happy,You even have to worry about the risk of going bankrupt all the time.
The nightmare of longevity for the elderly in Japan
In 2016, Japan's NHK TV produced a documentary "Old Age Bankruptcy", which reflected the real old age life of more than a dozen Japanese old menDeeply expose the embarrassing reality of the retired elderly in Japan's "lump era".
Speaking of the clump era, it is actually the population of Japan that gave birth after World War II, when the Japanese invaders tried to rebuild the country.
Japanese people are encouraged to have more childrenIn the two years from 1947 to 1949, millions of babies were born in JapanThe birth of the population during this period is called the clump era.
Japan's rapid economic take-off after the war is inseparable from the hard work of these people to make money. In the era of lumps, young people uphold the strategy of working to earn money, and then paying social security to get married, have children, and raise children to prevent old age, step by step towards the end of today's bankruptcy.
The documentary "Bankruptcy of the Elderly" resonated with the majority of old Japanese men, who really couldn't figure out why they were still embarrassed after so many years of hard work, and the topic of forced bankruptcy became the mantra of Japanese old men.
The old man of the clump era happened to catch up with the period of rapid economic development in JapanEveryone has a lot of wealth in their hands that young people can't grasp, and is seen by the public as a generation with a well-to-do life.
However, to the shame of the old Japanese people, their parents are very long-lived and are among the best in the world, so although the Japanese in the lump era are generally about 65 years old.
Actually, they are notJapan's oldest generation, many long-lived elderly people who are unable to work need to be supported by people in the clump era.
In addition, the children of these people are experiencing a recession in Japan, and the midlife crisis has left them unable to find jobs, and the old men in Japan have become the backbone.
A 65-year-old Japanese man, with his parents alive and his children and grandchildren, should be happy. But the family's income depends on themWhen the pension is not enough, all the joy is gone.
Japanese magical reality
Ryoto Ohami, a truck driver in Tokyo, Japan, is a vivid exampleHe is 73 years old, but he still has to get up at one o'clock every night.
Then he drove a truck to the vegetable market, and one person loaded all the goods to be sold today into a container, and then Oba Liangren delivered the goods to more than a dozen restaurants in Tokyo, Japan.
This job is given to today's young people, and I am afraid that no one wants to take on it. First of all, the extremely irregular daily life and heavy manual labor make young Japanese people prefer to eat their old age at home rather than compromise.
However, it is really eye-opening that the old man has never considered retirement. A Japanese old man like Ryōto Oha, who is still working in his twilight years, is as high as 10 million.
Compared to other developed countries,Japan's employment rate of the elderly is the highest in the worldAmong them, 18% of the employed population aged 65 in the United States ranks second.
France has the lowest employment rate at 65 in Europe, at 31%。Dabo Liangren Lao Ji is still very tough, and he is still very strong in such high-intensity physical work, and his income is still very considerable.
But there are not many old men with good conditions like himOlder people who are in poor health are generally limited to low-paying jobs such as salespeople, security guards, and cleaners.
Rural people in Japan have a single means of income, and they either farm or fishNow the Japanese authorities are frantically polluting the marine environment, and this is to drive them to a dead end.
In addition, there are many disadvantages hidden in the fact that Japanese old men come out to work, and they need to take frequent breaks more than energetic young people.
Shorter working hours and fewer jobs mean lower wages for older Japanese men. Japan is a developed country with an average monthly income of 310,000 yen.
However, once Japanese workers reach the age of 65, their work income is discounted, and they are more likely to face work-related injuries.
Not afraid of death, but afraid of life
In 2021, at the Niigata Prefecture factory in Japan**, 4 workers unfortunately suffered a fireThey were supposed to be able to flee the danger, but all four of them were wiped out.
It turned out that the workers in Niigata Prefecture were too old, the youngest of the four was 68 years old, and the oldest was 73 years old.
When these 4 people sprinted all the way to the safety door,They were so exhausted that they didn't even have the strength to open the valve. The smoke of the flames choked four people and finally killed Huangquan.
So why do Japanese old men take on high-risk, low-reward jobs, and can't they enjoy their old age in peace? I really can't be a 69-year-old old man in Kawaguchi, although he only has a high school Chinese certificate, but he left Fukuoka to work in Tokyo as soon as he graduated.
At first, the estuary man could only work as a driver, but relying on the momentum of his youth, he saved enough money to get married and have children in his early 20s.
Later, the estuary was promoted rapidlyYou can earn 10 million yen a year, which is equivalent to more than 560,000 yuan. However, Kawaguchi's heavy work led to the neglect of his family wife, and he divorced at the age of 43.
Kawaguchi failed to keep his wife, and he felt that life was boring. Without the pressure of his family, Kawaguchi became lazy and quit his high-paying job.
started a lazy and flat life, and worked part-time every day to support himself. The small life was very nourishing, but I didn't save any money.
However, Mr. Kawaguchi still underestimated the magic of the Japanese economyHe has a son, who is nearly 39 years old, and has never looked for a job since he was laid off.
The father and son are silent on weekdays, and the estuary also has a long-lived mother, who is 97 years old and alone in a nursing home.
Kawaguchi and his mother receive a monthly pension, but the old mother's money is only enough to pay the nursing home, and Kawaguchi's monthly budget of 140,000 yen is not enough to spend.
In addition, Kawaguchi also suffers from high blood pressure, and he has to pay an additional 8,000 yen a month for medical expenses. If Kawaguchi does not look for a job and lives on a pension, then he will owe 9,000 yen a month.
Considering the livelihood of his family, Kawaguchi still chose to come out to work. He drove for a local hospital, had no formal labor relationship, and Kawaguchi was paid only 1,000 yen an hour.
Kawaguchi occasionally visits his mother at a Yokohama nursing home, and the cost of a round trip can be as high as 5,000 yen. This made him feel a lot of pressure, and he was short of money, and he could only bring some cheap gifts for his mother.
The old mother was very happy every time she saw her sonPeople always want to see their relatives in their twilight years, and the estuary also wants to come twice more, but the economic conditions do not allow it.
Japanese prison pension
In order to prevent bankruptcy, the elderly in Japan have also tried to go off the rails, and the peculiar Japanese-style prison pension scheme came into being. The Japanese know how to be polite without righteousness, and the Japanese tend to punish them heavily for some minor crimes.
In Japanese crimes***, the person concerned is often sentenced to a prison sentence for petty theft, even if it is a light sentence, there is a ten-month sentence.
This makes the hearts of the elderly in Japan secretly happyDuring the Reiwa period, elderly criminals in Japan held one-fifth of the seats.
They don't do anything that hurts nature, but they love to steal. Stealing a small piece of goods, then being caught waiting for the police to come and arrest him.
At this time, the elderly Japanese will be sent to prison to serve their sentences, and prison is a bit of heaven on earth for them. Although each person only has 5 square meters of private space, what kind of big house do they want when they are old?
In prison, it is easier for elderly Japanese people to find peers, and everyone gets together to exercise and chat. The prison provides three meals a day on a regular basis, and the elderly do not have to pay for it.
Mr. Tanaka is 80 years old, he is a habitual thief, ** 15 times in prison for 20 years.
The Japanese ** couldn't stand him and forcibly transferred Mr. Tanaka to a nursing home. In order not to be disliked by the nursing home, Mr. Tanaka grew strong and strong, got up early every morning to deliver newspapers to people's homes, and opened up wasteland to send some food to the nursing home.
The nursing home staff had a good impression of him, and Mr. Tanaka did not commit any more crimes, choosing to face life again. However, Mr. Tanaka's success is only a coincidence, and most elderly Japanese people still do not get out of prison.
The carrying capacity of Japanese prisons is also limited, and to feed an elderly person with a misdemeanor who does not participate in social production, Japan** has to spend money in vain every year.
Prison guards were supposed to only be guarding the inmates, but when the elderly filled the prison, they had a new task. To take care of those suffering from Alzheimer's disease and unable to take care of themselves, Japanese prison guards have become full-time nurses.
Despite the lucrative salary, young Japanese people don't want to work as prison guards, because who wants to face the filth.
Ruthless Japanese culture
Taking care of the elderly Japanese who are dying has made the young Japanese complain. In 2016, a Japanese man with a deep grudge took advantage of the night to sneak into the Kanagawa Prefecture Nursing Home for the Disabled.
He looked at the sleeping disabled elderly man with a fierce look, and then continued to **, resulting in 44 people in the nursing home**. When the Japanese police asked the man why he was poisonedHe calmly told the police that the disabled old man should be euthanized.
This man's shocking speech caused a huge sensation in Japanese society. Are young Japanese people who regard the elderly as a burden to society, but are they really so unsightly?
Looking at the young days of the old Japanese men, they were the mainstays of Japan in the 1960s, and they worked hard all their lives in exchange for Japan's glorious moments in the 1980s.
However, the peak moment is always short-lived, and Japan is also the one who has endured the most shocks with the bursting of the economic bubble. Japan is in recession,They are also slowly aging, and young people in Japan are numb to the social depression.
In addition, Japan's low fertility rate, the serious shortage of young labor, and the burden of old-age care on young people, will naturally make them angry.
Therefore, the longevity of the elderly in Japan has become a bad thing, and the pressure of old-age care torments the old and the young. However, Japanese culture has always been a bully, and respecting the old and loving the young will not work in Japan.
In the future, young Japanese people will gradually grow old and become a burden in the eyes of others. Japan and South Korea have been a pair of happy enemies since ancient times, and South Korea is heading for a natural disappearance.
If Japan can't turn the tide, then South Korea's future may be a microcosm of Japan.
