In 2020, around 6.7 million households in Japan were elderly one-person households with the member being 65 years of age or older. The Japanese archipelago is facing an increasingly aging society paired with a lower number of marriages, which affected in particular the female population in 2015, which made up around 4.4 million of the elderly one person households in the country.
