| Annotation | The topic of what role older people can play in their communities and in society is related to how people live after they retire from work. In Japan, there have been changes in family relations, as well as in the roles that older people play in the family. What is necessary so that the personality and experience of each older person can be used, and most importantly, so that the person can enjoy interacting with his or her family and community and fulfilling his or her role therein? Global Information Journal on Longevity and Society has talked to Keiko Higuchi who has written a book that focuses on the power of grandparents, and Hitoshi Kato who has written on the individual lives of retirees.
