The population of Asia is growing both larger and older.
Demographically the most important continent on the world, Asia's
population, currently estimated to be 4.2 billion, is expected to
increase to about 5.9 billion by 2050. Rapid declines in fertility,
together with rising life expectancy, are altering the age
structure of the population so that in 2050, for the first time in
history, there will be roughly as many people in Asia over the age
of 65 as under the age of 15.
It is against this backdrop that the Division of Behavioral and
Social Research at the U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked
the National Research Council (NRC), through the Committee on
Population, to undertake a project on advancing behavioral and
social research on aging in Asia.
Aging in Asia: Findings from New and Emerging Data Initiatives is a
peer-reviewed collection of papers from China, India, Indonesia,
Japan, and Thailand that were presented at two conferences
organized in conjunction with the Chinese Academy of Sciences,
Indian National Science Academy, Indonesian Academy of Sciences,
and Science Council of Japan; the first conference was hosted by
the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, and the second
conference was hosted by the Indian National Science Academy in New
Delhi. The papers in the volume highlight the contributions from
new and emerging data initiatives in the region and cover subject
areas such as economic growth, labor markets, and consumption;
family roles and responsibilities; and labor markets and
consumption.
