It also found that around two-thirds of the companies polled are not eager to hire senior people as full-time employees, although many of them said there was no particular reason for their stance, according to Recruit Co.

Female centenarians totaled 81,589, up 1,428 from a year earlier. Japan's oldest woman was 116-year-old Fusa Tatsumi from Osaka Prefecture.
The average life expectancy of Japanese women was 87.09 years in 2022, the ministry said last month. The average life span of men stood at 81.05 years.
Male centenarians are estimated to increase 185 to 10,550. The country's oldest man was 111-year-old Gisaburo Sonobe from Chiba Prefecture.
The number of centenarians in Japan stood at 153 in 1963, when data were first collected. The figure topped the 10,000 mark in 1998, largely due to advances in medical care and nursing.

Women make up 56.6 percent of Japan's elderly population, numbering 20.51 million compared to men, who stood at 15.72 million, with the difference said to be a reflection of women having a longer average life expectancy.
Those aged 75 and older accounted for 16.1 percent of the total population, or 20.05 million people, surpassing the 20 million mark for the first time.
Meanwhile, 25.2 percent of elderly people in Japan were in work in 2022, with the number rising for the 19th straight year to 9.12 million, another record. The elderly compose 13.6 percent of the country's total workforce.
The Japanese government has struggled to prevent the declining population from hurting the economy while responding to the pressing and growing needs of the elderly, with many living alone and in need of personal support.

People aged 80 and over topped 10 percent of Japan's population for the first time, government data showed Sunday, as the country with the world's highest proportion of elderly people continues to grapple with a rapidly aging society.
The number of people in the age bracket swelled by 270,000 from the previous year to 10.1 percent of Japan's total population of around 124.6 million, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said ahead of Monday's Respect for the Aged Day.
In another record, those aged 65 and older, defined as the elderly in Japan, accounted for 29.1 percent of the total population at 36.23 million, meaning the country continues to have the largest proportion of this age group worldwide, the data showed as of Friday.
Italy and Finland rank second and third, with those aged 65 and over accounting for 24.5 percent and 23.6 percent of their respective populations.

While the country has made efforts to make buildings more resilient to earthquakes and fires over the last century, there are still regions with many wooden structures, while the increase in high-rise buildings is expected to create new issues in the case of an emergency.
The population of Tokyo has ballooned from about 4 million at the time of the Great Kanto Earthquake to around 14 million today, raising fears that a major disaster in the capital will leave many people stranded.

Separate ceremonies for those massacred in the aftermath were also held in and around Tokyo. Koreans and Chinese people were killed by the military, police and vigilante groups amid false rumors that they planned to stage an uprising or, in the case of Koreans, that they were poisoning wells.
According to a report by the government's council on disaster management, massacre victims made up from 1 to several percent of those who died in the disaster.
While previous Tokyo governors had paid tribute to the Korean victims every year, Koike has mostly refrained from doing so on grounds that her condolence message commemorates all victims.
That stance has led to her being accused by groups organizing the event of turning her back on history.
"In order for us to ensure that such things never happen again, we must know the facts, receive apologies for those facts, and people must be informed," Lin Boyao, co-chair of the Executive Committee for the 100th Anniversary of the Korean and Chinese Massacre after the Great Kanto Earthquake, said during a press conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan in Tokyo on Wednesday.
The Japanese government has avoided issuing an apology and has not provided compensation to the massacre victims due to a "lack of records" that refer to the killings.

A memorial service was held at a memorial hall in the capital's Yokoamicho Park in Sumida Ward where 38,000 people died due to a fire whirlwind, joined by around 130 people including the families of the victims, Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko.
"We pledge that we will hand down to future generations a safe and peaceful Tokyo," said Rinji Nakamura, deputy governor of Tokyo, as he read out a statement by Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike.
The site was visited by people from the morning to pay their respects to the victims.
Hideo Kobayashi, 87, spoke about how his father lost an ear and suffered burns across his back in the blaze. "He told me how the 'fires were running, chasing after me.' I came to visit for the first time in a while for the anniversary."
According to the Cabinet Office, the Great Kanto Earthquake caused around 5.5 billion yen ($37.8 million) in economic damage, equivalent to some 37 percent of Japan's gross national product at the time.

The quake not only caused buildings to collapse but also triggered fires in which about 90 percent of the casualties died along with tsunamis and mudslides.
The government designates Sept. 1 as Disaster Prevention Day, with drills held across the country every year to raise public awareness and disseminate disaster prevention knowledge.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida took part in a central government drill in Tokyo based on the scenario that a magnitude 7.3 quake occurred at around 7:10 a.m.
Kishida and other Cabinet ministers walked to the prime minister's office and held a mock emergency meeting to gather information on damage and necessary relief supplies.
"Please evacuate to a safe location and take action to save lives," Kishida said at a press conference held as part of the drill. "Remain calm to minimize the economic and social effects (of the earthquake)."

Japan began a controversial discharge of treated tritium-laced water from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant on Aug. 24, a major step in the decommissioning process for the reactors hit by a triple meltdown following the March 2011 tsunami.
The solution, hailed as safe by the government, follows a struggle for over a decade to deal with an enormous amount of radioactive water building up in tanks on the premises of the crippled plant.
Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, the plant’s operator, started releasing the water at 1:03 p.m. after weather and sea conditions were judged favorable.
Despite assurances from Tepco and the Japanese government, the move immediately drew backlash from neighboring countries.
Following the announcement of the release, China said it would suspend all imports of seafood from Japan, a step that will likely have a considerable impact on an industry already suffering from years of severe reputational damage.
Speaking after the release, Tepco President Tomoaki Kobayakawa said the company will offer compensation to companies hit by the restrictions, while continuing efforts to explain the safety of the operations. The government has also set up a fund of \30 billion to cover additional reputational damage.(The Japan Times)

Japan on Sept. 1 marked the centenary of the Great Kanto Earthquake that devastated the capital and surrounding areas, killing an estimated 105,000 people.
Ceremonies were held across the country to honor those who lost their lives in the magnitude 7.9 temblor and ensuing conflagration, as well as separate events to commemorate the Koreans and others who were massacred in the chaos following the disaster.
The quake not only caused buildings to collapse but also triggered fires in which about 90% of the casualties died, along with tsunamis and mudslides.
The government designates Sept. 1 as Disaster Prevention Day, with drills held across the country every year to raise public awareness and disseminate disaster prevention knowledge.
