| dc.description | The long-term impacts from the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown on 11 March 2011, should be deep, broad and link with various aspects in Japanese society. However, the regional population projections for Japan show different views on the future after the flood of news on aftermath of the great disaster. The comparison of the new and former projection indicates rather limited demographic impacts. Besides, both show similar prediction to the future. The East Japan is known as the advanced depopulation area long before the disaster. In fact, Tōhoku is not unique. Most of the regional communities in Japan confront the same steady tends of depopulation and rapid aging. The Great East Japan Earthquake reveals the demographic problem of the current Japan, a shrinking society in post-demographic transition. This book focuses on a new phenomenon, ‘a shrinking society’, emerging in the twenty-first century: the rapid aging and decreasing population of a well-developed country, Japan. Japan has entered a post-demographic transitional stage and led the world in both population aging and decline, followed by former Eastern bloc nations and other Asian countries. | - |
