[KS] CFP: Deadline Extended for "Demographic Challenges in East Asia"

[Melissa Dale]

The University of San Francisco Center for Asia Pacific Studies is pleased
to announce a call for papers for *“Demographic Challenges in East Asia,”* a
special issue of its peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal, *Asia
Pacific Perspectives* (APP).



After the Center’s successful spring 2024 symposium on the topic, we have
decided to publish a special issue on the topic and are now seeking
additional papers.



As life expectancy has risen, Asians have gotten older and now are living
longer. At the same time, the number of marriages has steadily decreased,
women are having fewer children and fertility is declining. East Asian
nations are now facing the challenges of shrinking populations and
workforces and aging populations with fewer young people to support them.



   - What are the key factors driving Asia’s demographic challenges?
   - What are the consequences of these challenges and how have Asian
   nations and their citizens responded?
   - What can we learn from their attempts and experiences?
   - What pathways and policies have worked historically and how might they
   be applied to the current situation today?


We are also interested in photo essays, think pieces, and book reviews on
the demographic challenges facing East Asia. Papers must represent original
work not already published or in press. For submission guidelines, please
visit the journal's website

.
