Growing Importance of Financial Preparation for Elder Care by 2030

By 2030, the number of family caregivers is projected to reach 8.33 million, with approximately 3.18 million serving as 'business caregivers' (individuals balancing work and caregiving) (Source: Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). As the baby boomer generation reaches the advanced elderly stage, financial and caregiving preparation has become a critical issue for those in their 40s and 50s.

Oyashiru Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Isamu Takeda), which focuses on supporting family communication, will co-host a free online seminar with BroadMind Co., Ltd., a provider of one-stop financial consulting, on June 27, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:30 AM.

The seminar will feature Isamu Takeda of Oyashiru and financial expert Naoki Hirahara, Executive Officer at BroadMind. This 90-minute session covers both caregiving concerns and financial planning.

Context As caregiving needs increase toward 2030, many working-age individuals feel they 'should think about it' but struggle to take action. Lack of knowledge and vague financial anxiety often lead to procrastination in family discussions. Surveys show that 68.6% of people have not discussed their preferences for medical or long-term care with their families.

Oyashiru teamed up with BroadMind, a financial expert, to directly address 'financial anxiety,' the biggest barrier to caregiving preparation.
