Professor Hidefumi Kurasaka of Chiba University Graduate School has made it possible to download a "future chart" issuance program for all municipalities for free so that the impact of a declining population and an aging society can be felt at the local level. The "Future Chart" contains the results of forecasting the situation in each region in 2040 when the current population decline and aging trend continues using various statistical data. This is due to the "Ensuring sustainability in local governments through the dissemination of multi-generational participatory stock management methods" in the strategic creative research promotion project promoted by the JST Social Technology Research and Development Center.

 Maintaining a healthy state of various capital bases (people, man-made objects, nature, connections between people) that support society is a prerequisite for social sustainability, but in a declining and aging society. Is expected to worsen the shortage of human resources in each department that supports sustainability.

 This "future chart" is a means to realize the impact of population decline and aging at the basic municipality level, and the industrial structure in 2040 when the current trend continues, and the situation of childcare, education, medical care, and long-term care. , Public facilities / roads, farmland, etc., about 10 fields, using various statistical data such as national census and population forecast of National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, simulated changes every 5 years The results will be posted.

 In the "Future Chart", what will happen in the future if the current trend continues, not only by illustrating the current state of population forecasting, industrial structure, long-term care, medical care, etc., but also by linking it to population forecasting data. Also show.Until now, we have provided the "Future Chart" individually to the desired local governments, but from October 2017, 10, the "Future Chart" issuance program can be downloaded for free on our website.Anyone can obtain the "future chart" of the specified municipality by entering the municipality code according to the instructions.

 This information on the "Future Chart" will not only be used for examining the policies and comprehensive plans of local governments, but will also be used for future issues such as the "Future Workshop" where junior high school and high school students will make policy recommendations as the future mayor of 2040. It is expected to be used in various training programs for awareness.Future workshops have already been held in Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, Yachiyo City, Shizuoka Prefecture, etc.
