TOKYO (AP) — The number of people aged 90 or older in Japan topped 1 million for the first time last year, including a record 23,000 centenarians, according to a government report released Friday.

To counter record low birth rates and an aging population, Japanese people must keep working as they get older, with society drawing upon "the abilities and experience of the elderly in order to preserve and increase the vitality of the country," said the annual report on the country's looming demographic crisis.

Those aged 65 or older — past typical retirement age — accounted for a record 19.5% of the country's 127.69 million people, up 0.5 point from 2003, the report said.

The number of workers in that age group accounts for 7.4% of the work force, and is expected to jump by almost half over the next decade to 11% by 2015, the report said.

The graying population and low birth rate threaten to leave the world's second largest economy with a labour shortage, erode the country's tax base and strain the pension system as fewer taxpayers try to support the expanding elderly population.

Earlier this week, the government said Japan's birth rate remained at a record low with women giving birth to an average of 1.29 children over their lifetimes.

Innovative group sessions may fill much-needed gap in care

THURSDAY, June 2 (HealthDay News) -- While the adage "life is short" may seem true for everyone, no one understands this better than those facing a terminal illness. In the time they have left, serious, unsettling questions regarding spirituality, relationships and identity can weigh heavily on their minds.

Experts who work with the dying say precious few resources are currently available to address these types of concerns. But a new program that allows groups of terminally ill individuals to meet and talk out their problems may offer comfort.

"The key issue is to give dying patients the option to connect with one another -- that kind of support group may prove to be very strong," explained Dr. Kenneth J. Doka, a Lutheran minister, professor of gerontology at the College of New Rochelle, N.Y., and senior consultant to the Hospice Foundation of America.
