Abstract

France and Japan are known today for their high number of centenarians and supercentenarians, illustrating the great longevity of their populations. Japan is now home to the oldest population in the world, this was long the case of France. But while France is known for the early and slow transitions responsible for the ageing of its population, Japan is known for the late start and rapidity of the demographic transitions that led to its ageing. In this work, the demographic transitions observed in France and Japan since the end of the Second World War are closely compared to draw some socio-economic lessons.
