- Summary:
- Twenty-five essays, presented by Coulmas (Japanese studies, Duisburg-Essen U., Germany) and Lutzeler (Centre for Interdisciplinary Regional Studies, Ruhr-U. of Bochum, Germany), provide a comparative overview of population decline and ageing in Japan and Germany, principally, and some other European and East Asian countries for further comparative purpose. As an interdisciplinary whole, the essays integrate empirical observation, theoretical analysis, and policy discussion of demographic decline and the ways in which it interacts with social, economic, policy, and cultural change.
