The United Nations defines an Ageing society as a society that has a population Ageing rate of 7% or higher. The population Ageing rate is defined as the percentage of the overall population that is 65 or older. Japan became an Ageing society in 1970. The population Ageing rate of Japan continued to increase thereafter, and in 2007, it became a super-aged society (a population Ageing rate of 21% or higher). Many European countries and the United States are experiencing an increase in the population Ageing rate, although the rate of Ageing is slower than in Japan. East Asian countries like China, Korea, and Singapore have not reached super-aged society status, but the change in the population Ageing rate is similar to Japan, or in some cases, even higher than that of Japan. Ageing population is the biggest issue facing the world today, Japan in particular. Also, because of the trend towards nuclear families and the increase in one-person households, the number of households with only elderly people and the number of elderly people living alone are on the rise in Japan. At the same time as these changes in social structure are occurring, forms of communication have been changing with the recent developments and growth of information and communications technologies. This paper will discuss some issues of our Aging society. Especially, we point out various problems of Aging society that faces, clarify the whereabouts of those problems, and also provide a direction for research in this area.
