Abstract

The Japanese demography is drastically changing. It has seen a rapid increase in the elderly population and a decrease in the birth rate. This caused Japan to be a hyper-ageing society. Japanese’s first Baby-boomers who were born in 1947-1949 are now entering old age. Elderly care is a major problem in Japan. Children and care-workers for elderly parents are scarce. Therefore, the second Baby-boomers (born in 1971-1974) aged 40-50 years old have quit working to care for their elderly parents. This situation is known as ‘kaigo rishoku.’ This study looked into the practice of elderly care in Japanese 5.0 Society. Society 5.0 is a concept developed by Japan. It is human-centred and technology-based. In society 5.0, robots and the internet play an essential role in human life. Therefore, we proposed a critical question: Can robots replace humans to care for the elderly in Society 5.0? This study used the qualitative method with a phenomenological approach and descriptive analysis. The results revealed that although robots can assist elderly care, due to the high cost, only a certain elderly can buy them. Therefore, in order for robots to become caregivers of the future, mass production is needed. Thus, robots can be marketed at relatively lower prices. However, sick elderly who live alone still need human assistance. On the one hand, technology helps human life in Society 5.0. On the other hand, the human touch is still necessary for elderly care.

Abstract

This article aims to describe the phenomenon of kodokushi (lonely death) among the elderly in Japan’s hyper-aging society as a negative impact of modernity. The research is analyzed through Anthony Giddens’ juggernaut of modernity perspective. The juggernaut is a walking machine (giant panzer) with extraordinary power, which we can steer to a certain extent but is also likely to lose control and tear itself to pieces. The results show that the phenomenon of lonely death (kodokushi) in the elderly reflects the uncontrollable juggernaut of modernity. Changes in family structure, the decline in birth rates, and cultural values that Japanese people hold cause kodokushi to remain high in Japan, especially among the elderly. Elderly people who live alone without traditional family or community ties live in social isolation. In the context of Giddens' Juggernaut of Modernity, the juggernaut has lost control. The phenomenon of kodokushi reflects complex challenges. Many older people experience isolation and loneliness due to a lack of strong social ties. Culturally, the ingrained culture of not wanting to inconvenience others (meiwaku wo kakutakunai) in Japanese society is a barrier to overcoming kodokushi. Addressing this phenomenon requires holistic efforts from the government, social institutions, and society. Although efforts to overcome kodokushi have been made, understanding and dealing with these complexities is crucial in Japan's hyper-aging society.

Abstract

The changes in the Japanese population with an increasing number of elderly and the decline in the number of children caused a problem in society. Currently many Japanese elderlies live in poverty. These elderly are known as karyuu roujin. The term karyuu roujin was introduced by Takanori Fujita, a social worker in 2015. This term became the starting point for the depiction of poverty from the actual situation of the elderly in Japan. The term karyuu roujin is defined as old people who live with basic welfare standards and worried about their living conditions. Now, Japan's first baby boomer generation getting old and poverty have become commonly seen among these elderly people. It is estimated that there are around 6-7 million karyuu roujin. The purpose of this paper is to describe karyuu roujin as a class of poor elderly in japan and the problems faced in old age. The method used is qualitative with descriptive analysis. The results indicate that with longer life spans, the elderly are becoming an increasingly large class of the poor in the Japanese population. The problems faced by these poor elderly people include a small pension, high medical costs, no children or family to ask for help. The impact of this poverty is that many elderly people commit criminal acts and suicide.

Abstract

This study delved into the reactions of Japanese society, particularly netizens, to the Indonesia-China High-Speed Rail project, inaugurated in 2023, by analyzing content on Youtube. Through a qualitative approach and content analysis, the research applied symbolic interactionism as its conceptual framework. The dataset included 22 Youtube videos collected during October 2023, a pivotal time marked by the project's inauguration. This study revealed that, through a symbolic interactionism perspective, Japanese netizens form negative meanings of the Indonesia-China High Speed Rail (HSR) project based on interactions with symbols in Youtube content. Visual and verbal representations in videos and thumbnails contributed to these perceptions, with 20 out of 22 analyzed contents expressing criticism, sarcasm, or disappointment, portraying HSR as a symbol of failure or betrayal, rather than progress or achievement. In addition, discussions in the comments section, with an average of 390 comments per video, reinforced these negative interpretations. Phrases such as “betrayal” and visuals that negatively portray Indonesia emphasize a broader sense of national disillusionment, going beyond the technical aspects of the project and reflecting political as well as economic concerns.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the increasing trend of suicide among Japanese teenagers since the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health of people around the world, including Japan. According to data from the National Police Agency of Japan, the number of youth suicides (aged 15-19) in Japan remains at a record high and is showing an alarming trend. Contributing factors include school problems, health problems, and family problems. To analyse this phenomenon, this study uses Emile Durkheim's suicide theory approach, which classifies suicide into four types, namely egoistic, altruistic, fatalistic, and anomic. This research uses a qualitative research method through a literature study approach. The results showed that the pandemic had exacerbated suicide factors, especially the anomic and fatalistic types of Durkheim's suicide theory. Academic pressure, family expectations, and Japanese cultural norms amid social isolation interact to create conditions for adolescents who are vulnerable to the pressures of these two types of suicide. The increase in suicide rates among Japanese adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic reflects the complexity of the social and psychological crisis facing the younger generation.
