Japan's super-aged society with elderly people over 65 years of age accounting for 20-21% of the total population has emerged in recent years. And there has been a downward trend in the birth rate at the same time.
Previously, the family assumed a large role in bringing up children, caring for elderly people, managing elderly people's property, etc.
However these family roles don't work well anymore, because elderly people gradually lose their ability to recognize the meaning of their judgment and to engage in labor, etc.
The purpose of this symposium was to consider the Decline of Family Functions in the Super-aged Society in Japan. For this purpose, five panelists (Mariko Hirose, Nobumi Yamanaka, Hiroyuki Kanemitsu, Natsuhiko Yoshida and Takahisa Urushibata) analyzed the social and legal policies from the viewpoints of social security, maternity nursing, management of elderly people's property, business succession about the small and medium-sized enterprise and crime prevention, and so on.
This symposium was held as part of the 124th academic conference of the Japanese Association of Law and Political Science at the College of Law, Nihon University on June 18, 2016.
