JAPAN SEASON 2021
Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the future Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.
After Hours: Japan
Friday 5th November 2021, 5.00pm -8.00pm at the Ashmolean Museum.

The Japanese population is both aging and shrinking faster than any population has ever aged or shrunk outside war or plague. The population is already getting smaller by over 500,000 people a year (= Sheffield) and this will soon rise to 1 million a year (= Amsterdam). If people are living longer, why is the population shrinking? And what does it mean Japan will look like in 2065?

Speaker: Professor Roger Goodman, Nissan Professor of Modern Japanese Studies
