SUMMARY:Workshop: "Can rapidly ageing societies achieve social and intergenerational justice? Perspectives from Germany and Japan"
DESCRIPTION:Population ageing is transforming advanced democracies. It raises pressing questions not only about pensions\, healthcare\, and public finances\, but also about social cohesion and fairness between generations. At the same time\, governments must address persistent social inequalities that often intersect with\, but do not always mirror\, generational divides. \n\n\n\nHow can societies balance the needs of younger and older generations? What policy choices are available when fiscal resources are limited and political discontent is growing? Bringing together scholars from political science\, sociology\, economics\, and area studies from Germany and Japan\, these panels explore how the two rapidly ageing societies of Germany and Japan are responding to these challenges. \nWorkshop Program \n3:00 p.m. – 3:15 p.m. Greetings \nKenichi Bessho\, Consulate General of Japan in Munich \nIrene Götz\, Dean\, Faculty for the Study of Culture\, LMU \nKarsten Fischer\, Vice-Dean\, Faculty of Social Sciences\, LMU \n3:15 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. Panel I: State Finances \nchair: Kenneth Mori McElwain \nLaura Seelkopf\, LMU Munich: The Development of the Modern Tax State – Japan and Germany in International Comparison \nSteffen Heinrich\, FU Berlin: Demographic Ageing and the Fiscal Politics of Generational Divides in Japan and Germany \nTakeshi Fujitani\, University of Tokyo: How to Tax the Gray Majority: Justification\, Circumvention\, and Constitutional Limits \n4:15 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. Coffee Break \n4:45 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. Panel II: Politically Contentious Issues \nchair: Laura Seelkopf \nKenneth Mori McElwain\, University of Tokyo: Do We Need to Worry About Silver Democracy?
