News Care and Aging in Japan: Assessments Taken Up in a Nationwide Article

A recent article in the Hamburger Abendblatt am Sonntag, the Berliner Morgenpost am Sonntag, and nine other regional Sunday newspapers examines how Japan is addressing the challenges of an aging society.

Under the headline “Japan hat bei der Pflege die Nase vorn” the article presents various approaches Japan has taken in the areas of long-term care, dementia care, social participation, and the prevention of loneliness. The article also draws on assessments by Dr. Vincent B. Lesch regarding the societal consequences of demographic change and innovative policy measures in Japan.
