Message from the teacher

In Japan, the population is declining and aging, and it is predicted that in the near future, one in three people will be elderly, making it a super-aged society. Population decline and aging are expected to have various impacts on the economy and society, such as a decrease in the working-age population and a worsening labor shortage leading to a decline in economic growth, an increase in the demand for medical care and nursing care due to the growing elderly population, and the impact on local economies and local life due to the decline in the local population.

In my course, "Aging Economics," we examine the economic and social impacts of population decline and aging from an economic perspective. Population decline and aging are inevitable. Why not join us in Department of Co-existing Society Studies to think about population decline and aging together?
