Abstract

<p>After perusing the “VS. TOKYO Return to Tokushima General Strategy” developed by Tokushima Prefecture to stop the decrease in population, we now hold the viewpoint that the problem of population decrease should be solved by us, the younger generation. Itʼs predicted that Tokushima Prefecture will realize a decreased population and hyper-aging society sooner than the rest of the country. As the overall population decreases, so does the working population, causing a variety of problems like a weakening of economic growth and economic activity, and with a decrease in the next generation comes difficulty to carry on traditional events and perpetuate culture. At first we thought that this issue was something for someone else to solve, but as we felt how close it affected us, we analyzed the problem from a “younger generation standpoint” and considered what is wanted and needed from policies that encourage younger people to get married and raise children. In particular, we focused on the realizability of the prefectureʼs policies, and how crucial it is for the opinions of young women of childbearing age to be heavily considered and reflected in policy decisions</p>
