Land of widows

News reports say Japanese girls, on an average, expect to live until they are 86 years old. This would make them the longest survivors in the world.
Boys born in 2007 can expect to live to the age of 79.2, ranking third after Iceland and Hong Kong, a report said. Does it mean Japan will become the land of widows?
Japan's females have topped the world's longevity ranks for 23 years. Researchers have attributed this to their healthy diet and tight social ties, among other reasons.
The report is the latest sign that Japan is ageing quicker than any other country. Government data show a tenth of the population aged 75 years or older.
