Our 2015 Japan Study Tour, held in Yamanashi Prefecture and Tokyo, addressed ‘Challenges in Demography Tackling Ageing Society and Shrinking Populations’.
Following the tour participant Richard Derecki, Scrutiny Team Manager at the London Assembly, has written a summary analysing challenges faced and strategies made by Japanese local authorities in tackling an ageing society, balanced against London’s own greying metropolis.
The Note is tabled for the London Assembly’s Health Committee to be held on March 2 and can be read here (Item 09A).
