TOKYO - Kane Tanaka has extended her record as the world's oldest person by celebrating her 117th birthday at a nursing home in Fukuoka in southern Japan.
Tanaka, whose birthday was on Jan. 2, took a bite from a slice of her big birthday cake."Tasty," she said with a smile."I want some more." Tanaka's record age is symbolic of Japan's fast-ageing population, which coupled with its falling birthrate is raising concerns about labour shortages and prospects for future economic growth.
