It’s possible there’s a regional or generational gap there. If you’re pushing 110 you probably haven’t worked in 40 years. You could even argue that the ones literally working themselves to death are the very ones paying for the older generation’s happy carefree lifestyle.

That’s a more recent phenomenon. These folk were retiring just as that culture was taking off.

I wonder more the average life expectancy or even the percentiles. What the max age does 90 percent of the population reach.

Japanese corporate culture is actually a relatively modern development, so a lot of older people in Japan have never experienced it.
