DEMOGRAPHICS IN EAST ASIA SYMPOSIUM

April 10-11, 2024

Online, Via Zoom Webinar


** Through registration link you can RSVP for the symposium on April 11 AND the keynote speech the DAY BEFORE on April 10


The Center for Asia Pacific Studies invites you to join us for our spring virtual symposium, “Demographic Challenges in East Asia” (Keynote: Wednesday evening, Panels: Thursday afternoon).


As life expectancy has risen, Asians have gotten older and now are living longer. At the same time, the number of marriages has steadily decreased, women are having fewer children and fertility is declining. East Asian nations are now facing the challenges of shrinking populations and workforces and aging populations with fewer young people to support them. What are the key factors driving Asia’s demographic challenges? What are the consequences of these challenges and how have Asian nations and their citizens responded? What can we learn from their attempts and experiences? What pathways and policies have worked historically and how might they be applied to the current situation today? Join us for one or more of these important presentations designed to promote academic discussion on issues related to the demographic challenges facing East Asian nations both historically and today.
