Is it true that the Japanese pension system will end or change within 10years?
Yes, it is true. The amount of younger people supporting older generations may change it in future. Napoleon started a pension system 200 years ago for military soldiers in France who were 65 and older. At the time, the life expectancy was only 55. These ages insured an ongoing system. The average life span of Japanese in future will grow from around 75 today to more than 80. A better pension system age should start rising toward at least the life expectancy age. It is now unlikely to surpass it. The most likely case is for partial pensions to begin at 65, but full pensions will move to a higher age like 70 and later 75 or more over time.
