"lost" not only the people

elderly living room if Furutani, Tokyo 113, she is the "number one birthday." Unfortunately, no one knew she was dead or alive, her mother, the daughter of the last contact many years ago.

111-year-old Tokyo, "the first male longevity," Kato's case is also proved to be only "legend" actually has more than 30 years at home, morgue, the body side of the "latest" in a newspaper published in 1978 in November.

Japanese government survey of emergency, centenarians successive "missing" is not unique to Tokyo. As of the 4th, Labor, and Welfare has confirmed that at least 22 registered more than hundred years old missing, life and death unknown.

Japan is the highest degree of aging of the developed countries, is "long life power." Japanese government statistics released last week show that in 2009 the average life expectancy of Japanese women 86.44 years, the world's No. 1 for 25 consecutive years; male life expectancy ranked fifth in the world; the country for more than hundred years old claims to more than 4 million people.

these people jumeaux missing, affecting the credibility of statistical data also highlights the growing Japanese community in addressing aging issues, face legal, administrative, pension system, and multiple defects. Which exposed the family "disappeared", but also pay attention to human relationships and principles of the Japanese becoming a member.

Japanese pension, in general, or in public, private old-age facilities, or home care. Home Care was divided to live with their families and live alone. Japanese common "lonely death" situation more common in elderly people living alone, but because welfare agencies and officials, visited from time to time, usually soon after death can be found.

the missing storm is obviously different. According to household registration, these "missing" for the elderly live with their children, the elderly dead or missing, promptly inform the authorities responsible for their children. However, the existing law does not authorize agencies to force investigating the survival status of the elderly, the notification or not depends on their children's "conscience."

Kato were now "living fraud" incident, this "moral hazard" leap off the paper. Kato family confessed to them from his father "death account" several million yen in total extract pension.

death of elderly family members concealed false pension claims, its own legal sanctions, may wish to look at special cases. Instead, Furutani room "disappeared", will reveal a more profound dilemma. Japanese media reports, most recently be exposed old "disappearance" cases, family members not to fight money idea, but "do not ask, do not know, whatever" old life and death.

this family's "loss", the impact of Japan's aging society is to protect the dam of the "undercurrent." No wonder the Japanese society began to reflect: based on "Human Nature, said," the pension laws and regulations related to whether the repaired. (Feng Wuyong)
