The 6th CJK Cooperation Dialogue
Toward the Realization of Sustainable and Inclusive Growth– amid Increasing Risks to the Global Economy
As the US-China conflict continues, many changes in economic and trade activities inthe East Asia region have been taking place. China, Japan and South Korea have seen
the “ Fourth Industrial Revolution ” and the digital revolution, which are realizing
robotics run by AI and IOT. These in turn bring forth changes in the labor situation.
These three countries have also been experiencing declining and aging populations,which in turn are contributing to a change in employment structures and influencing
economic growth negatively.
At this Dialogue, we have chosen to discuss the following important topics forachieving sustainable and inclusive growth, and to learn from each other’s experiences.
The agenda is: mid- and long-term issues for raising potential growth ability; and how
to cope with the impact of declining and aging populations.
