Here is an article I found in today's Globe and Mail to continue information on the senior problem in Japan:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/asia-pacific/japanese-living-longer-lonelier/article1746791/
The article details the lack of accounting for seniors' situation in both social structure accounting and family obligation. I can only wonder why these situations arise although the article indicates men who have worked long hour are the ones mostly separated from their families. It is funny to think hours spent giving a family what they want (as opposed to what they need) may encourage little, if any, growth in family contact. I wonder how women will fair as the situation continues.
