The global society is currently experiencing a significant transformation due to demographic changes: the rapid aging in developed countries and a “population bonus” in less developed countries. In this study, we investigate this global societal change by focusing on three large-scale risks, i.e., aging, disaster, and poverty risks. This project has two objectives: first, to collect and analyze detailed micro-data in order to accumulate evidence on Japan’s experience in rapid aging, disaster mitigation/coping and reconstruction from World War II, which should serve as an international public good; second, to acquire new evidence on risk and well-being of people in developing countries that are going through a population bonus stage.
