Casino-themed daycare may become a pillar of Japanese economic revival¹ plans by occupying some of the 10m Japanese aged² over 80 and so freeing up workers who might otherwise have left the shrinking labour force to look after frail³ relatives -- as do some 100,000 workers each year. 

赌场主题的日间陪护所可能会成为支撑起日本经济重振计划的一个支柱：让日本约1000万80岁以上的老人有事可做，解放原本需要退出劳动力大军以照顾体弱亲人的劳动者。目前，日本的劳动人口正在萎缩，每年有约10万人因上述原因离职照顾老人。

 

As Japan's demographic crisis has deepened, the number of daycare facilities has doubled since 2010 to about 40,000. But the majority offer activities that "are too childish, patronising even. These are adults and they want serious activities."

随着日本的人口危机加深，自2010年以来，日本日间陪护所的数量已经翻了一番，至约4万家。但其中大多数陪护所提供的活动“太幼稚，甚至好像大人对小孩。这些人是成年人，他们想要真正的活动。”
