   About 19.5 percent of the population was over 65 years of age.
  (c) Find the number of people who are below 65.
The Japanese population is rapidly aging as a result of a post–World War II baby boom followed by a decrease in birth rates. A growing number of younger Japanese prefer not to marry or have families. Hence Japan's population is expected to drop to 100 million by 2050 and to 64 million by 2100.
