35% shoplifting is done by people over 60. What happened to Japan?

There is a wonderful phenomenon in Japan, that is, many old people like to find opportunities to go to jail. And they are basically elderly people over 60 years old. The reason why these old people are so eager for places like prisons is actually very simple. First of all, in Japanese culture, children have no obligation to support the elderly. Secondly, in Japanese social morality and law, it is not regarded as an obligation for children to support the elderly. Finally, in Japan, due to the rapid economic development, every Japanese who has a job is actually very busy and doesn't have much time to support the elderly.

First of all, in Japanese culture, there is a bad attitude towards the elderly. After all, Japan is a small island country and a maritime country, so in Japanese culture, strength is highly respected. And the elderly basically don't have much strength, so in Japanese culture, the attitude towards the elderly is not particularly friendly.

Secondly, in Japan, young people have no obligation to support others. This is difficult for the author to understand. After all, old people have worked hard for young people all their lives. Why do young people have no obligation to support them? But these things are really taken for granted by the Japanese. So when the old people have no one to support them, they think of prison. After all, they can enjoy free medical care, accommodation, meals and so on in prison. Therefore, many old people began to flock to the prison, hoping to enter the prison, so as to really enjoy their old age.

Finally, in Japan, everyone who has a job is very busy and has little time to support the elderly. Japan's development is very fast. Of course, the rapid development has also brought many problems, so Japanese people are very busy every day, either at work or on their way to work. Therefore, many Japanese simply have no time to visit or support the elderly.
