http://ptix.at/Ba8eDfSPOTLIGHT by SparkDojo is a global community dedicated to solving the most deep-rooted political, economic, and social issues that Japan has struggled with for a long time. We invite experts from various industries, disciplines, and cultures to cast light from different angles onto a seemingly unsolvable issue. How would a cultural anthropologist solve Japan’s sinking birthrate and rapidly aging population? How would a neurologist tackle gender inequality in Japan? What new ideas or perspectives can experts from fields that are not directly related to the issue offer? Our goal is to take a new look at Japan’s oldest, most intractable problems and offer creative solutions through engagement and collaboration.

https://youtu.be/f-abK8qvM3YThis is our third event of this series, and we will be discussing the issue of \"Declining marriage rate\" in Japan. Japan faces a contracting birth rate and rapidly aging population, and a key factor behind this trend is the declining marriage rate. In 2017, the lowest number of marriages was recorded since the statistics began, and for five consecutive years, this rate has been on a downward trend. Furthermore, by 2040, it is expected that 40% of Japan's households will be single-person, whereas only 23.3% will be households with married couples and children. We will explore new perspectives and ideas on the decline or marriage in Japan.
This event is a bilingual event open to anyone interested in learning new things, solving issues, and connecting with people from different backgrounds.
