The Japanese government is contemplating the establishment of a new agency solely dedicated to supporting retired Self-Defense Forces' personnel. The agency will provide important assistance like retirement planning, job retraining, or career counselling to former civil defenders. The timing and details of the agency's inauguration are still under discussion. This proposal indicates the growing concern over the welfare of its retired military personnel in a country that puts high value on public servants.

In Japan, civil servants, including Self-Defense Forces' personnel, are highly respected. With a rapidly aging population, it is crucial for Japan to find effective ways to support retired employees, including from military service. The establishment of an agency dedicated to helping retired defense personnel underscores the government's commitment towards ensuring their welfare.

In the US, veterans' welfare is a high priority and various organizations and government bodies, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, work towards supporting veterans with healthcare, career opportunities, and retirement planning. Similarly, in the EU, the European Defence Agency addresses the welfare of military personnel, including issues related to retirement.
