Why is the average age in Japan so high?
Japan's high average age is attributed to several factors, including a healthy lifestyle, advanced healthcare system, low infant mortality rate, low crime rates, advanced technology, aging population, cultural values, clean environment, stable economy and traditional medicine. These factors combined make it possible for Japanese people to live longer than people in other countries. However, long working hours are also a contributing factor to stress-related illnesses and health problems.
