Organizing the Foreign Scholar Lecture Series and International Workshops |
The Foreign Scholar Lecture Series and International
Workshops are organized to invite internationally
renowned researchers in the fields of population and
social security. These seminars and workshops are
held in the IPSS conference room and are open to the
public. In FY2015-FY2016, special lectures were given
on the subjects of population bonuses, population
declines, population trends in North and South Korea,
mathematical demographics, work and family balance,
and longevity. International workshops with East Asian
countries were also conducted.

Promoting International Research Cooperation |
We are engaged in cooperative research based on a
memorandum of understanding with the Korea Institute
for Health and Social Affairs (KIHASA), the French
Institute for Demographic Studies (INED), and the
Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of
China, while we promote information exchanges and
joint research with international organizations such as
the OECD, World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank,
UNICEF, the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF),
along with universities and research institutes in their
respective countries. We also participate in international
scientific conferences on population and social security,
and issue reports.

Receiving Visitors from Overseas |
We receive delegations and study tour groups from
around the world and outline the current situation
of population and social security in Japan for them.
In FY2015-FY2016, through the JENESYS Japanese
government exchange program and others, we received
visits from groups from around the world, and from
global population development delegations from
countries such as China, South Korea, Mongolia, Taiwan,
USA, Australia, the UK, Denmark, and others.

Collaborating through International Organizations on Population and Social Insurance Issues |
We are engaged in ongoing cooperation about issues
on a global scale such as population problems and the
building of an international social security system
through the Commission on Population and Development
held at the UN headquarters, and participation in various
meetings held at the United Nations Economic and Social
Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). We are
also offering expertise and data on population and social
security in Japan through short-term dispatches to OECD
headquarters and participation in expert meeting held by
the OECD.
