Chapter Chapter 1 in Demographic Change and Economic Growth, 2010, pp 1-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Phrases such as “demographic change”, “fertility decline” and “aging society” are commonplace terminology in most industrialized countries. Western Europe, especially, is facing a mounting challenge: How to solve unknown problems of an aging and shrinking society? In fact, Japan is facing this problem as well and much earlier than Western Europe, but the time-lag is not long enough to observe the tide of events in Japan and to adopt Japan’s best practices.
