Summary/Abstract: Demographic developments – the “greying” of society – remain an issue across the first world; in Europe, the expansion of the welfare state and elevated standards of services has put increasing demands on productivity to maintain the prosperity that has become an integral part of the societal contract. In this context, the dwindling generations represent an existential concern. However, no country is more emblematic of this than Japan, whose demographic developments pose fundamental questions about the future of society. Will migration – a contested issue both in Japan and Europe despite being as old as civilization – represent an inevitable solution as the overall global population increases and inequality widens?
