DESCRIPTION:The East Asia Program within the Moynihan Institute presents a 
 virtual talk with Professor Naoko Soma from Yokohama National University i
 n Japan.An increasing number of people in East Asia perform “double care\,
 ” where they are caring for both children and the elderly simultaneously. 
 This is the result of the concurrent trends of population aging and advanc
 ing ages of marriage and childbearing. This presentation will first review
  the current situation and policies regarding people dealing with multiple
  responsibilities of care in East Asia\, especially in Japan\, based on ou
 r latest survey. By comparing the development of social policy for "young-
 carers\," who have become a new policy issue in recent years in Japan\, so
 me interesting contrasts emerge in welfare politics in problematizing issu
 es of multiple responsibilities of care. Furthermore\, Soma will examine t
 he development of intergenerational care policy in Japan to challenge the 
 familyism or male-breadwinner model embedded in social policy with the goa
 l of envisioning policy change in this low fertility society.Naoko Soma (相
 馬直子　そうまなおこ) is a professor in the International Graduate School of Social 
 Sciences at Yokohama National University\, Japan. She specializes in the s
 ociology of care and family policy in East Asia\, especially in Japan and 
 South Korea.&nbsp\; Some of her recent publications include the co-authore
 d articles "Gendered Responsibility of Multigenerational Care: Examining '
 Defamilialisation' Policies in Family-centered&nbsp\;Welfare Regimes in Ea
 st Asia" (2023) and "Gendered Pandemic in Japan: Childcare\, Parents' Empl
 oyment\, and Housework during Covid-19 through Survey in Yokohama” (2022).
