East Asia has seen the ageing of its population this century. Over the past decade both birth and death rates have fallen and all East Asian countries now have below replacement level fertility and their populations are living longer.
As a result all countries in the region are now introducing pension and long term care systems. This collection draws together key papers written since 2000 which consider the ageing of China, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan and Japan.

Zielgruppe

All students and scholars interested in the subject of ageing in East Asia and ageing issues in general; scholars and students in the field of Social Sciences and modern East Asia.
