Thinking About the Future of Social Security in Japan: HGPI Hosts Health Policy Symposium
Published
The Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) held the "6th HGPI Salon 2025-2026" on October 13, 2026. The theme for this event was "Japan's Health Policy from the Perspective of Global Security." Experts engaged in discussions regarding the future of Japan's social security system.
The Health and Global Policy Institute is an independent, non-partisan private think tank. For many years, it has investigated critical issues in the fields of medicine and social security and has proposed various policies. This event was held as part of those ongoing activities.
At the conference, participants discussed how changes in the global situation affect healthcare in Japan. The focus of the debate was on how to protect and develop Japan's health policy from the perspective of international security.
In a Japan facing a declining birthrate and an aging population, building a sustainable social security system is an extremely important challenge. The discussions at this symposium are expected to serve as a valuable guide for considering the future of Japan's healthcare policy.
