I'm interested to know how you believe the elderly will be cared for? Let's assume for a moment they have no issues financially supporting the elderly, but physically who is supposed to care for them? Who will make up the nurses, doctors and caretakers now that their population pyramid looks like a chicken drumstick?

Japan has a large amount of unused labor in the current demographic breakup of 29% elderly, Japan has a large number of educated inviduals, and Japan has a large amount of capital even without infinite growth shenanigans.

Any failure to take care elderly even at 38% or even 50% would be a failure of the state as a result of greed or corruption. It's a relatively simple task to accomplish. The year is 2025, automation replaced most other jobs a long long time ago.
