If there are fewer young people in the future, then who will care for the
elderly? Japan's hospitals and nursing homes will need more care workers.
In 2018 the Japanese government changed the law ( 1 ) students from
15 other countries can work as helpers in Japan. Now there are students from
the Philippines, Vietnam, and ether countries in nursing schools. Japan wants
to bring more students and teach them to become care workers.
Many companies are also developing products and technologies to help @ A-29
the elderly. One is a seal-shaped* robot called PARO. It looks like a toy, but
it feels like a real pet. Sony's AIBO robot dog is also popular with the elderly.
And SoftBank's Pepp# robaot isused in hospitals and nursing homes. It talks
to people and teaches them exercises.

nurses will be needed in the future. Plus, many elderly people just want

一件落着のようですが、内容が気になりましたので、失礼します。
People need to be helped by other people. の書き換えの2文は、無理だと思います。
その理由は以下の通りです。
①want ~ing ~する必要がある:主語は人ではなくもの
例:Your hair wants combing. あなたの髪はとかす必要がありますよ。
= Your hair needs to be combed. / You need to comb your hair.
②need ~ing ~される必要がある:主語は人ではなくもの
例:My car needs repairing. 私の車は修理の必要があります。← 修理するのではなく「修理される」必要がある
= My car needs to be repaired. / I need to get my car repaired.
