Scoop.it!
Japan crossed a threshold this year. Sales of adult diapers are now greater than those destined for babies. Other statistics to do with the aging population are equally surprising.
Tony Hall's insight:
I was recently in Japan after a gap of 9 years. On the face of it, the people looked older. It seemed very strage. Also lots of emergency defibrilators on train station platforms, supermarkets & shopping malls. Great case study for population geography in IGCSE & IB.
