Elderly, Decision-Making, interviewsAbstract
The aging rate in Japan is 29.0% as of 2022, and it is rising due to the decrease in the total pop-ulation and the increase in the population aged 65 and over. It is significant to clarify what characteristics are present in the decision-making and behavior of the elderly. Therefore, this study conducts interviews with the elderly and qualitatively analyzes the data obtained to ex-amine the factors that influence the decision-making of the elderly.
