Two perspectives of our issue(Shogo and Huang)

Declining population and aging society with fewer children.

Put these two words together, and it is easy for anyone to imagine that the economy will shrink, welfare problems will arise here and there in the city, and the functions of local government will decline。

The mission, then, is how to design a brighter future in the face of inevitable demographic change. In other words, we must turn this crisis into an opportunity.

One of the first things we need to do is mechanization.

The number of people who can work is decreasing due to the aging of the population, The standard view of the profession will change to one of making work an opportunity, based on the theme of liberalization and manpower saving.

I would like as many people as possible to feel the need for the care and welfare industry to sort out what can only be done by people and what can be substituted by machines.

Next, there is the export strategy.

Japan is entering a super-aged society, and countries around the world will eventually follow the same path.

China, an advanced superpower, is at the top of the list.

The idea that we should have here is a sense of value that allows us to experiment with super-aging societies as quickly as possible.

Japan's business history of imports from Europe and the U.S. will be reversed, and from now on, Japan will export not only goods, but also things, services, and so on.

The third is investment in education.

The social value of education goes without saying, but Japan will become a country that can spend more on education for its people.

This is because the number of children will decrease.

The popular view is that "children are precious and scarce, so let's take good care of them.

Society as a whole will be less likely to complain about investing in children.

As for corporate activities, it is a great idea to do business on the theme of lifelong education, so it is definitely an opportunity to invest in education based on the business strategy of "what kind of education are you going to work on?

It is easy to talk about it but not so easy to take action.

We hope to become an indispensable company in Shimada City by repeating trial and error step by step.

China, like Japan, is facing an aging population. We will face many problems, both as a government and as families and individuals. Before I came to Japan, I worked for a newspaper company for senior citizens. In China, there is at least one " elderly's Newspaper" in each province. People of retirement age subscribe to the "elderly 's Newspaper. The content of the "elderly's News" is news for the aged, health knowledge, etc., and there is plenty of information. Since the elderly have much less access to the Internet than the young, it would be useful for the elderly to have all the information about aging in one newspaper. There will be no similar "elderly 's Newspaper" in Japan.

The problem of aging is a common challenge for both Japan and China. We should exchange information with each other. Of course, China still has much to learn from Japan. Japan is a model for China in social welfare for the elderly.

In China, five policies are emphasized regarding the welfare policy for the elderly. Tried to list them up but Chinese. These are support for the elderly, medical care, social participation, lifelong learning, and hobbies and pastimes. In the age of 100 years of life, all five of these things are indispensable, and only by being blessed with these five things can one live a long life.
