Super Ageing Challenge - Research, Policies, and Programs


Super-aging Society.

Engage all generations in discussions

on how to confront the super-aging society.

The challenges of a super-aging society cannot be solved only by direct approaches to the problems faced by the elderly. Efforts to improve the quality of life of all generations and the social and economic innovations that support them are essential. It is also essential to take perspectives such as addressing the declining birthrate.


This conference will identify the changes and challenges that a super-aging society will bring to the world, and discuss the path to solutions from the perspective of all generations, not just the elderly.

Want to live healthier longer? Scientists aim to improve life quality over quantity

Everyone's different, of course, and people will have different needs at different stages of life. A professional football player needs a lot more protein than the average person. But after retirement, if that player eats the same amount of protein while exercising far less, it will lead to unhealthy fat, she said.


With as many as 50 clinical trials underway around the world, he thinks it won't take too long to figure out whether existing drugs can be repurposed to reduce the severity of some of the worst diseases of aging, such as advanced Alzheimer's and some cancers.

Linda Fried

A geriatrician and epidemiologist, Dr. Fried has dedicated her career to the science of healthy aging, particularly the science of prevention of frailty, disability, and cardiovascular disease. She has led the scientific discoveries as to the definition, biology and causes of the syndrome of frailty. Dr. Fried has proposed that the creation of healthy longevity and new societal institutions that enable older adults could transform the potential of our longer lives into a Third Demographic Dividend where all ages and societies flourish. Under her leadership as dean, Columbia Mailman has developed new dimensions of public health science from the health impacts of climate change to healthy longevity, and has become a key leader in innovation in public health education. Prior to becoming Dean in 2008, she was the Director of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology and of the Center on Aging and Health at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. Dr. Fried is the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the French INSERM International Prize in Medical Research in 2017. President of the Association of American Physicians in 2016-2017, she was the recipient of their Kober Medal in 2022. She serves on the National Academy of Medicine’s Executive Council and recently co-chaired its Global Commission on a Global Roadmap for Healthy Longevity.

Japan's ageing society

Japan is aging fast. Its 'super-aged' society is the oldest in the world: 28.7 % of the population are 65 or older, with women forming the majority. The country is also home to a record 80 000 centenarians. By 2036, people aged 65 and over will represent a third of the population. Since 2011, the Japanese population has also been shrinking: it is a rare case of large country whose overall population is becoming smaller in prosperous and peaceful times. Japan's population is expected to drop from 127 million in 2015 to 88 million by 2065. Japan's demographic crisis is the consequence of the combination of two elements: a high life expectancy and a low fertility rate. In 2018, Japan had the second highest life expectancy in the world. Meanwhile, since the 1970s the country has failed to raise its fertility rate to the replacement level. The working culture, a deterioration of employment opportunities for young men and the traditional gender division of labour are possible explanations for this trend. The consequences of the country's aging and shrinking population include economic crisis, budgetary challenges, pressure on job markets and depopulation of rural areas. The silver economy is meanwhile flourishing and Japan is at the forefront of robot development to face a declining labour force and to take care of its elderly. The government's efforts to address the demographic crisis have yet to succeed however, and immigration has been limited. Tokyo is engaged in global health cooperation and succeeded in incorporating the concept of human security in the sustainable development goals. It has also been active in international cooperation on ageing, with a focus on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. The EU's own ageing society is not far behind Japan. It could benefit from learning from Japan's experience, and cooperating on all aspects relating to demographic challenges, including on 'agetech': technology making comfortable longevity accessible to all.

Ageing Society

In this report, we qualify a country as “ageing society” if the share of people aged 65 years or more is between 7% and 14 of the total population, as “aged society” if this share is between 15% and 20% and as “super-aged society” if this share is 21% or higher.
