Abstract

This study analyzes the socioeconomic effects of the aging population issue with a cultural
comparison focus. Through a cross-culturally comparative synthesis of demographic and
economic data of five countries, the study examines the consequences of aging on the labor force
participation rates, shifts in the healthcare economy, and the intergenerational relations within
the societies. A combination of quantitative approaches, examining statistical data, and analyzing
relevant policies reveals both barriers and flexibility in policies, designed to respond to the
demographic change. Our results indicate that the impact of cultural context, the level of policy
willingness and systematic preparedness leads to diverse socioeconomic consequences. This
debate is important to understanding issues related to aging on a global level and aims to address
concerns for sustainable development goals under specific policies in different culture settings.
