根据日本总务省发布的2015年人口普查数据，自政府从1920年起开始的此类调查以来，目前这个年龄段的比例是最高的。

Recent decreased birth rate reach to this population aging in Japan. We really feel this problem but must change our mind and life style first. To increase birth rate gradually nurse place is needed to be built more and childcare leave needs to be improved so that we can take very easily. Finally the population ratio must be changed..... I hope for our future.

近年来下降的出生率助长了日本人口老龄化问题。我们确实感觉到了这个问题，但是必须首先改变我们的观念和生活方式。为了逐步增加出生率，日本需要修建更多的护理院，育儿假也得改善。只有这样我们才能轻松点。最后，人口比例必须改变。。。指望下一代吧。
