The average life expectancy of Japanese people is over 80 years old for both men and women, and discussions have begun toward the "100 years of life" assuming that they will live for 100 years. Against the backdrop of the progress of such a super-aging society and the decrease in the labor force due to the declining birthrate, companies are obliged to secure stable employment until the age of 65 in 2013, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications "Labor Force Survey" (2017) On average), the employment rate of men has already exceeded 50% even in their late 60s. At Kao Corporation's "Consumer Research Center" (* 1), now that the option of "working" has become common even after the age of 60, men in their 60s who are currently working are motivated to work and why they continue to work. Investigate. As a result, I can see the changes in working styles and how to spend time with people in their 50s, as well as their feelings for their families and future life. ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― [Points of the main survey results] ● Working 60 More than 90% of men in their teens "want to work while they are healthy regardless of age" ● Reasons why "to maintain a living" in the early 60s and "for health" and "interaction with people" in the latter half of the 60s ● I want to work at my own pace and cherish my time with my family and my time ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ――――――――――― ● More than 90% of working men in their 60s said, “I want to work while I'm fine, regardless of age.” The Japan Geriatrics Society stated in a 2015 statement, “The latest data shows that the elderly Physical function and intellectual ability tend to rejuvenate year by year, and it is expected that the elderly today will be 5 to 10 years younger than they were 10 to 20 years ago. " In the past, the age of 60 was considered a milestone for retirement, but more than 90% of men in their 60s who are currently working say, "I want to work while I'm fine, regardless of age." In my late 60s, more than 80% wanted to work even in their 70s. * The 29th Annual Meeting of the Japan Geriatrics Society Symposium 1 "Reexamination of the definition of the elderly-based on the discussions of the Geriatrics Society / Geriatrics Society WG" (June 2015) Reasons why "for health" and "interaction with people" work in the late 60s Most of the "reasons for working" for working men in their 60s are "for maintaining a living" in the early 60s. However, after the age of 65, when the pension payment started, "for health", "being able to live a regular life" and "being able to interact with people" increased, and "for maintaining life" decreased to about 50%. .. It seems that the background is that the burden of education costs and mortgages becomes lighter with age. In the visit interview, even though I was worried that my income would be enough for my pension, I heard that there is a positive attitude toward work other than income, such as "work is not only a source of livelihood but also a purpose of life." It was done. For working men in their 60s, "working" seems to be one of the means to live a better life in the future, such as helping health and making life worthwhile, not just for financial reasons. .. ● I want to work at my own pace and cherish my time with my family as well as my time. The ideal way of working for men in their 60s is "at their own pace", which is as high as 50-60%. Make the most of your experience and skills. " In addition, what they currently value most is "time spent with spouse", followed by "hobbies / friends" and "time spent alone". From the visiting interview, men in their 60s now have time to face their "family" and "self" because their working styles and how they spend their time have changed from those in their 50s, and they are looking forward to that time from now on. Many people said that they wanted to. I also felt the importance of health because I wanted to cherish my family and my future life. Also, regarding appearance and appearance, there is a sense of consciousness and attention due to aging, such as "I want to keep it clean when I meet people", "I want to look youthful", and "I don't want to look old". I did. When I followed the thoughts of working men in their 60s, I found that "working" was not the purpose, but one of the means to live better in the future. When I was in my 60s, I felt that it was important to draw what I wanted to live for, how I wanted to connect with my family and people, and how I wanted to spend my time. rice field. Now that the era of 100 years of life is approaching, how to live in the future, including "working" and "not working", is to live a long life in a richer way. It seems important.
