With the aging of society, the problem of asset formation before and after retirement isattracting attention. The issues related to asset depletion are often analyzed based on macro statistical datasuch as financial assets and disposable income. Whereas such analysis does not necessarily reflect theattributes of each individual so there is room for improvement. In this paper, as a first step to analyze thecharacteristics of the assets and household income before and after retirement, we conducted a basicanalysis using individual questionnaire data. Specifically, after showing the summary statistics of theabove data, cross tabulation was performed according to the attributes of the questionnaire respondents.We analyzed the tendency of various asset statuses and stances toward investment due to differences inresidential area and household composition.
