Japan-Bangladesh-ization. This is something I took myself. In Kansai, you can already see scenes like this everywhere. Japanese people don't exercise, so as they age, their muscle strength declines, and their backs become hunched. Even if they say they're long-lived and healthy, I feel that the actual quality of life is quite harsh. If you convert their pensions to New Taiwan Dollars, they don't even reach the level of Taiwan's minimum livelihood security. On the other hand, the workforce is increasingly made up of Bangladeshis. From now on, we'll probably see a sight where a large number of foreigners are supporting this country. And someday, they too will realize that the pensions and national health insurance premiums they pay are being used to support this elderly-centered nation. After all, it's a country where one-third of the population is 65 or older. Actually, Chinese people have been leaving Japan for many years now. There are about 900,000 Chinese living in Japan. Even after accumulating over many years, that's the extent of it. It doesn't even compare to a single town near Hangzhou. Vietnamese people are starting to notice too. When you consider the exchange rates, the appeal of working in Japan is steadily fading. I think people from Southeast Asia will gradually drift away as well. In fact, prices in central Bangkok are becoming higher than in Osaka. Next to increase will likely be Indians and Bangladeshis. If things continue like this, I think Japan will become a country of Bangladeshis and the elderly.
