  • 60 seen as too young to retire in aging, worker-short Japan

    15 Jul 2016 12:31 | JHRS (Administrator)

    Hiroshi Suzuki had a fulfilling career in which he traveled the world as an engineer. Then, at age 65, he retired. That didn’t last long. For the past seven years Suzuki, 72, has been a nursing aide in the Tokyo area, and says he’s years away from true retirement. Economists say if Japan wants to alleviate its worsening labor shortage, it needs a whole lot more people like Suzuki, who is atypical by working into his 70s.
