The purpose of this article was to get some clues to many problems which Korean society might experience in the near future, based on Japanese knowledge and experience of the super-aged society’s social welfare system. Japan was a kind of economic growth for Korea, and the two countries share a common cultural background of both Conficianism and Buddhism. Thus, the Japanese experience of coping with the aged society should give important ideas of solving the problems in Korea. That is, Korea might be able to preapare for better strategies of coping with the aged and/or super-aged society if learning through the experience. After taking a brief overview on the Japanese current situation of the super-aged society, the general issues of the super-aged society were examined in this article. Subsequently, how to put theory of social welfare into practice at the super-aged society was introduced, and several policy tasks for the Korean society in the near future were suggested in the last part of this article.
