Population Pyramid Inversion

The population pyramid inversion has happened for the first time in the history of the human beings as the result of the ultimate demographic transition. Is it possible to build up the sustainable, super-aged society in the society of population pyramid inversion? Can we, the human beings cope with this situation? The decrease in population resulting from a decrease in the birthrate is rapidly progressing, especially in Japan.
 

From progress of the demographic transition and decrease in the birthrate, people have anxiety in the stability of the social security of a pension, medical treatment, and care. The entitlement gaps between generations have also become clear. It is not an overstatement although the resignation to collapse is seen by people. We named the crisis caused by the population pyramid inversion “the aging crisis.”

Naturally the past politics, the present politics, and the expected future improved politics that will advance a federal system introduction are important. However, is the aging crisis over the present civilization of the population pyramid inversion conquerable only by changing a political institution?
 

Prof. KEIO University Yukichi Fukuzawa encouraged the private school students' study, hearing the roar of guns on the occasion of conversion for the Meiji government from Tokugawa Shogunate by the Meiji Restoration in Japan. It is clear that changing the system is important, and there is a precedent which sets the education of the youth, the next generation who bears the foundation of new era.
