A breakdown of japan's demographic composition by age in 1950, 2000, and 2050 is shown in figure 1. Here, one can visually trace the process in which the ideal shape of the population pyramid is being inverted over a period of 100 years. The aging of the population began slowly in the 1950s and 1960s, it took 20 years before there was a two point increase in the population aging rate (from 4.9 % in the 1950 s to 7.1 % in the 1970 s). However, after the 1970 s, the population began to age quickly, and by 1994, the rate had doubled (14.1 %) that of 24 years earlier. Moreover, according to the estimates from the national institute of population and social security research, the rate will exceed 20 percent in 2010 (22.5 %). In 2020 the number of people who are very elderly will overtake the number of those who are just entering the elderly category, and the population aging rate will reach 35.7 percent in 2050. As the population ages, the number of elderly needing nursing care is expected to rise. According to estimates from th eministry of health, labour and welfare (MHLW), the number is expected to increase from 2.7 million in 2000 to 3.9 million in 2010 to 5.3 million in 2025. The question of how to develop a mechanism to support the growing population of elderly people needing care has become a matter of serious concern.
