Part of situation: Japan centenarian population growth (2 clusters)

Japan centenarian population exceeds 100,000 for the first time

centenarians demographic crisis longevity aging population social security

Japan has reached a historic demographic milestone, with the number of residents aged 100 or older surpassing 100,000 for the first time. According to data from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, there were 107,677 centenarians as of September 1, representing an increase of 7,914 people compared to the previous year. This marks the 56th consecutive year of growth for this age group.

Women constitute the vast majority of this population, accounting for approximately 87.6% to 88% of centenarians, totaling 94,298 individuals, while men number 13,379. The oldest resident in the country is 114-year-old Fuyo Kishimoto from Kyoto, and the oldest male is 112-year-old Hikaru Kato from Kumamoto.

While the increase in longevity is viewed as a success for medical technology and quality of life, it highlights a deepening demographic crisis. Japan faces a shrinking total population due to record-low birth rates, which places significant pressure on the labor market, social security systems, and national finances. The government continues to implement measures to encourage childbirth to address these long-term challenges.
