立命馆大学启动跨学科大型研究项目 解决人口减少带来的“2060问题”

Ritsumeikan University started interdisciplinary large-scale research projects to solve 2060 problems of "population reduction"

据日本《京都新闻》报道，立命馆大学于2017年正式启动了一项大型跨学科研究项目，研究日本如何解决人口减少带来的社会问题。研究项目的名称为“人口减少所引起的2060问题”，将在全校设置11个研究点。

自2008年起，立命馆大学的研究机构“全球创新研究机构（R-GIRO）”每年拿出3亿日元研究经费，在医疗、环境等领域建设研究基地。

在日本文部科学省的一项鼓励大学建设特色研究的项目“私立大学研究星级项目”中，立命馆大学成功入围。为了进一步展示自己的科研特色，立命馆大学再次开设研究点，在新领域展示自己的实力。

“2060问题”指的是，从地球资源公平分配的角度来看，日本2060年人口预计减少到8800万人左右，人口数量正合适，但从人口分布的角度来看，老龄人口增多导致劳动人口存在很大缺口。为解决这一问题，截止到2021年，立命馆大学的11个研究基地将从多个方面进行研究，如将退休年龄提高到75岁、老龄化社会使用机器人、开发能够延长寿命的技术和医疗器械、人口问题和经济增长的关系等。

该项目负责人村上正纪副理事表示，对于合理的人口数量，日本并没有制定长期的计划。本研究项目将会探究《2060问题》的解决对策，希望能为隐藏同样危机的亚洲各国·地区也能提供一些参考。（编译：陈启佳 校对：刘戈）

Ritsumeikan University started interdisciplinary large-scale research projects to solve 2060 problems of "population reduction"

According to Japan's "Kyoto News" reported on 2017, Ritsumeikan University officially launched a large-scale interdisciplinary research project, research on Japan how to solve the social problems caused by population decline. The research project, named "2060 problems caused by population reduction," will set up 11 research points in the school.

Since 2008, research institutions, research institutions "Ritsumeikan University Global Innovation (R-GIRO) out of 300 million yen annual research funding, research base in the construction of medical and environmental fields.

The Japanese Ministry of education in a university to encourage construction of characteristic research project "Research on private university Star project", Ritsumeikan University successfully nominated. In order to show their characteristics of scientific research, Ritsumeikan University opened again on, to show their strength in new areas.

The "2060 issue" means that from the perspective of the equitable distribution of the earth's resources, the population of Japan is expected to reduce to about 88 million people in 2060, and the population is just right. But from the perspective of population distribution, the increasing number of aging population leads to a great gap in the labor force. In order to solve this problem, by the end of 2021, 11 on the base of Ritsumeikan University will conduct the research from many aspects, such as raising the retirement age to 75 years, the aging society, the use of robots can prolong the life of the development of technology and medical equipment, population and economic growth relationship.

The deputy director of the project, Murakami Masaki, said Japan did not have a long-term plan for a reasonable population. This research project will explore the solution of the "2060 problem", and hope to provide some reference for the Asian countries and regions that are hiding the same crisis.
