What's their societal problems got to do with a post about their aging population? I wasn't stating any causation or other issue, simply the fact that their population is aging. Also I didn't say it was exclusively their problem, I simply highlighted them as they were one of the first nations to really start to tackle the issue, also as some of my family are Japanese it's an issue of interest that I've heard discussed many times when over there. A quick google will show you it's now a worldwide issue.

Pensions don't work very well when there's less working people paying towards them... among other things.

To be fair your starting point was a lower birth rate not ageing population. Sorry if I touched a nerve there.
A worldwide issue except in the countries that are drastically increasing population.

No nerve touched at all, just wondered what your post on Japan's societal issues had to do with my post on a worldwide population ageing issue, which is being exacerbated by a declining birth rate.
