Outline of Final Research Achievements

Globalization, innovation and demographic change significantly affect employment, the labor environment, social security, and other social systems. The response to globalization and the Europeanization of liberalism have produced anti-immigrant, anti-refugee sentiment,and some socially and economically marginalized people sympathized with views of far-right parties, and supported xenophobic nationalism and populism. In order to achieve sustainable economic growth and innovations build democratic and stable social order, people around the world should fill the gap between awareness and reality, disperse risk through global social solidarity and select a path toward securing shared benefits. As social security weakens, growth and innovations can not be expected to increase, growth will further decline. Therefore, we emphasized the importance of scientific and social innovation in Europe and Japan.
