Engage all generations in discussions
on how to confront the super-aging society.

The challenges of a super-aging society cannot be solved only by direct approaches to the problems faced by the elderly. Efforts to improve the quality of life of all generations and the social and economic innovations that support them are essential. It is also essential to take perspectives such as addressing the declining birthrate.

This conference will identify the changes and challenges that a super-aging society will bring to the world, and discuss the path to solutions from the perspective of all generations, not just the elderly.
