Age dependency ratio (% of working-age population)
Age dependency ratio is the ratio of dependents--people younger than 15 or older than 64--to the working-age population--those ages 15-64. Data are shown as the proportion of dependents per 100 working-age population.

Population ages 65 and above (% of total)
Today, more than a quarter of Japan's population is aged over 65. This is set to increase to 40% by 2055, when the population will have shrunk from the current 127 million to 90 million.

Working population
• That will leave Japan with fewer workers to support each oldster. Back in 1950, Japan had 10 workers to support each senior. By 2000, that had fallen to 3.6; in 2025, the ratio will be just 1.9.

Immigration
Japan is still one of the most ethnically homogeneous countries in the world, with foreigners making up less than 2% of the population.
Having to pass the national exam in Japanese is incredibly difficult and only 304 foreign nurses and carers have so far managed to make Japan their temporary home.
They would be required to go home after 3~5 years.

Women, work and give birth
70% of Japanese women leave the workforce to give birth; fewer than half of them are able to re-start their careers.
Good childcare options would also encourage Japanese women to have more children, which would help boost the ratio of old people to young ones.

Conclusion
Robot is an assistant, not a permanent solution for Japan’s economy.
Embrace immigrants The most fundamental : encourage the birth rate
