Essay Collection Advancing Future Generations-Population Issues in Indonesia and Korea
It is with great pride that I introduce the Essay Collection ‘Advancing Future
Generations: Population Issues in Indonesia and Korea’, a product of the
World Population Day Conference hosted by the Korea-Indonesia
Connection (KIC) FISIP UI on 16–17 July 2024. This collection of 23 essays
offers valuable insights into the pressing population challenges faced by
both Indonesia and Korea, refl ecting the collaborative efforts of scholars
and experts dedicated to shaping a better future.
Social scientists, in particular, can study population issues in Indonesia and
Korea by examining various demographic factors such as birth rates,
migration patterns, and aging populations. Research in Korea may
concentrate on issues associated with an aging population and declining
birth rates, whereas research in Indonesia may concentrate on urbanization
and regional disparities. By contrasting these cases, we can gain
understanding of how cultural and policy issues infl uence population
patterns and the wider effects they have on society.
This book is an important outcome of the cooperation between the Korea
Foundation and FISIP UI. I am confi dent that this book will serve as an
important resource for academics, policymakers, and the broader
community, inspiring continued dialogue and action on these vital issues.
