Why do Japanese people still have to work when they are old? I found that many elderly people in Japan still have to work when they are 80 years old, and their old age is not guaranteed? Do their children care about them?

Why do Japanese people still work when they are old?

I found that many elderly people in Japan are 80 years old and still have to work, so are they not guaranteed to live in old age?

Later, I heard from a friend that Japan's welfare is very good. Parents don't have to buy a house for their children and take care of their children, and they are financially independent. The pension is also abundant.

They continue to work when they are old because they feel that "people age fast at home", and they have to work until they have difficulty moving and then go to a nursing home, which is subsidized by the government, and it doesn't cost much to live in a nursing home.

Is that really the case?
