This is a report on the problems of demographic aging in Japan, with particular reference to the problems faced by older women. Factors considered include the high life expectancy of females compared with males, higher male age at marriage, and the larger proportion of single women at higher ages. The implications of these trends are discussed, and the need to focus attention on the problems of aging among the female population is noted. (summary in ENG)
