a low birthrate and an aging population
e.g. Parasite Singles
BUT
Are unmarried, working females who live with their parents to blame for all Japan’s ills? And are they unique to Japan?
Networking of projects
Collaboration and linkage in common efforts
Each project on different subjects
Networking
• (1) To generate prototype achievements that will contribute to resolving problems relating to the aging society through identifing the current status and problems of regional and community using an evidence-based approach.
• (2) To enable the organization and provision of new research and development techniques that can help resolve problems relating to the aging society, as well as indicators, etc. for scientifically evaluating the current status of regional and community frontline areas and problems facing these areas, based on interdisciplinary and inter-occupational knowledge and methods.
• (3) To lead to the creation of R&D centers in Japan and the formation of participant networks, and the various achievements that are obtained will be the driving force behind ongoing efforts and deployment in various locations both at home and abroad, as well as encouraging widespread understanding across multiple generations through R&D activities.

*Technical innovation is not sufficient unless we also pursue social innovation!
*Social Challenges require systemic solutions that are grounded in the
client’s or customer’s needs!
*We need a new approach to create solutions- design thinking!
