According to the report of the Ministry of Public Welfare, people aged sixty five years old and over has climbed to fourteen percent of the total population in Japan in 1995. It is said that the aged population will get to twenty five percent of the total population after thirty years and will reach the point where one fourth of the Japanese population will be sixty five years old in the twenty first century. The speed of population aging in Japan is without precedent in world history. Under these circumstances, the aim of my report in the Symposium is to approach the problems of the aged in the Aging Society from the point of view of the Constitutional Law and Politics, and to pose the problem and task at the legal and political aspects.
