Abstract

China is facing a profound demographic shift characterized by declining birth rates, a rapidly aging population, and significant urban-rural disparities. Despite phasing out the one-child policy in 2015 and introducing two-child and three-child policies, the total fertility rate (TFR) fell below 1.0 in 2024, far below the replacement level of 2.1. These trends have led to negative population growth and a rising dependency ratio, projected to reach 60.3% by 2024. This demographic imbalance exacerbates labor shortages, increases labor costs, and places immense strain on healthcare and pension systems, particularly in rural areas where social service access remains inadequate. While similar challenges are evident in aging societies like Japan and South Korea, China’s regional disparities and economic scale complicate policy implementation. This study identifies gaps in addressing the structural challenges hindering fertility policies, including economic pressures, cultural resistance, and inequities between urban and rural regions. Employing secondary data analysis, trend analysis, and comparative case studies, this research evaluates demographic trends from 2020 to 2024 and assesses the effectiveness of current policies. Findings reveal the limited success of China’s pronatalist policies and underscore the urgent need for comprehensive reforms. Recommendations include targeted investments in rural areas, affordable childcare, gender-equitable policies, and technological adoption to mitigate labor shortages. Future research should explore global lessons, public attitudes, and innovative strategies to address the socio-economic implications of demographic shifts, offering insights for sustainable policy design in aging societies.

Abstract

This study examines the intricate relationship between colonization and environmental destruction in Denis Villeneuve’s cinematic adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. Drawing on Ferdinand Malcolm's theory of decolonial ecology, it argues that colonial activities in Dune not only dehumanize and subjugate indigenous populations, as articulated in Fanon's postcolonial theory, but also severely exploit and damage the planet’s environment. The indigenous people, faced with ecological devastation and cultural erasure, initiate a decolonization process aimed at reclaiming their land, identity, and agency while simultaneously working to restore the environment. However, the narrative ultimately reveals the failure of this decolonization movement as a new tyrannical figure emerges, perpetuating the cycle of colonization and exploitation. This study employs a qualitative methodology, combining critical analysis with decolonial and postcolonial theoretical frameworks. Key scenes and visuals in the film are analyzed to explore their symbolic representations of ecological exploitation and resistance. By linking narrative and theory, the study highlights Dune’s reflection of contemporary issues surrounding colonialism, environmental degradation, and the challenges of achieving meaningful decolonization.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between Japan's work culture and the mental health of its workers, focusing on stress, anxiety, and depression caused by long working hours and high productivity demands. Japan’s work culture, which emphasizes loyalty to the company and endurance, has contributed to a significant rise in mental health issues. Despite efforts by the government and companies to reduce overtime and provide mental health support, the policies implemented so far have proven insufficient in addressing the root causes of workplace stress. This research incorporates in-depth interviews, surveys, and case studies from workers across both private and public sectors. The findings indicate a strong correlation between long working hours and elevated stress levels, with workers in the private sector, younger employees, and women experiencing higher levels of anxiety and stress. Policies like flexible work hours, mental health programs, and reduced overtime showed positive impacts on well-being, but their inconsistent implementation limits their effectiveness. The study concludes that policies must go beyond reducing working hours and incorporate structural changes in workplace culture. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of these reforms, explore sector-specific mental health needs, and consider gendered aspects of work-related stress.

Abstract

Algeria's political transitions, marked by constitutional amendments in 2016 and 2020, have sparked efforts to integrate democratic principles and civic values into educational frameworks. This study examines the dynamics of citizenship education in the context of Algeria's political reforms. The research explores citizenship education's role in fostering civic participation and aligning educational content with national democratic aspirations. The methodology employs a mixed-methods approach, conducted throughout 2023, involving 500 respondents, including educators, policymakers, and students from diverse locations such as Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Tlemcen, and Setif. Quantitative surveys assess perceptions and effectiveness, while qualitative interviews and focus groups provide deeper insights into stakeholders' experiences and expectations. Findings reveal that citizenship education in Algeria demonstrates significant potential in promoting civic engagement and aligning with democratic ideals. However, challenges persist, such as balancing traditional cultural values with modern democratic principles, ensuring adequate teacher training, and addressing political constraints that hinder open dialogue. The discussion highlights the need for a comprehensive curriculum, participatory teaching methods, and a political environment conducive to civic learning. Future research could explore sector-specific impacts of citizenship education and the long-term outcomes of integrating democratic principles into curricula. These insights could guide policymakers and educators in designing more effective educational reforms tailored to Algeria's unique socio-political context.

Abstract

Hikikomori, a term used to describe individuals who experience severe social withdrawal, has become an increasingly prominent social issue in Japan. This phenomenon, once considered an isolated occurrence, now affects a growing number of individuals, particularly among young people, with profound social, psychological, and economic consequences. The aim of this study is to investigate the underlying causes of hikikomori, its psychological and societal impacts, and the effectiveness of current interventions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative case studies and quantitative surveys to examine the factors contributing to social isolation, including societal pressures, family dynamics, and the role of technology. The findings reveal that academic stress, unemployment, and changing family structures are significant contributors to hikikomori. Furthermore, the study highlights the psychological toll on affected individuals, including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, as well as the strain on family members and social systems. While current interventions, such as counseling services and government programs, show some promise, they are often insufficient in addressing the root causes of the issue. This study concludes that hikikomori is not only a personal issue but a societal challenge that requires comprehensive, multi-faceted interventions. Future research should focus on exploring more effective support systems, the role of technology in exacerbating isolation, and the long-term impact of hikikomori on Japan's workforce and economy.

Abstract

Paradiplomacy has become an important phenomenon in international relations, especially for local governments. This study discusses the cooperation between the Yogyakarta Special Region Government and the Gangwon-do Government, South Korea, as an example of paradiplomacy in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection through interviews, archival documents, and secondary sources. The results of the study show that cooperation between the Yogyakarta Special Region Government and the Gangwon-do Government has begun since 2008, with the signing of a LoI and followed by the signing of a MoU in 2009. This cooperation covers tourism, science and technology, education, agriculture, culture, and sports. However, the results of the study also show that the effectiveness of this cooperation still needs to be improved, especially in terms of coordination, strategy, and reporting systems. Therefore, this study recommends that local governments need to enhance their capabilities and capacities in managing international cooperation, as well as strengthen coordination and communication with the central government and international partners. This study also identified several gaps that need to be addressed, such as the lack of data and information on the implementation of cooperation, the lack of analysis on the impact of cooperation on local communities and economies, and the lack of evaluation of the effectiveness of cooperation. Therefore, this study recommends several future studies, such as analyzing the impact of cooperation on local communities and economies, proving cooperation's effectiveness, and analyzing cooperation's role and contribution in improving local governments' ability and capacity.

Abstract

India is experiencing significant demographic shifts, including a growing elderly population and a decline in the traditional extended family structure. By 2050, individuals aged 60 and above are projected to comprise 19% of India's total population, presenting challenges to social cohesion and healthcare systems. This study analyzes these shifts, focusing on aging trends, family structure transformations, and their social implications. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines demographic data analysis and in-depth interviews with 40 participants, including policymakers, sociologists, urban planners, and older adults from both urban and rural areas. Findings reveal a transition from extended to nuclear families, particularly in urban regions, resulting in greater vulnerability for older adults due to social isolation and caregiving gaps. The study calls for policies targeting elderly healthcare, and intergenerational support. Recommendations include enhancing healthcare services for older adults, improving pension schemes, and prioritizing age-friendly urban planning. Despite limitations such as small sample size and geographical focus, this research provides valuable insights for policymakers. Future studies should investigate the broader societal impacts of aging, particularly in healthcare, education, and economic productivity, and explore the role of technology in elder care, especially in rural areas.

Abstract

The impact of common law system on The Gambia is manifest in the type of legal system the country embraces. Prior to colonialism, The Gambia embraced customary practices of the indigenous people of the country which is mainly influenced by their belief systems in cultural practices. So, customary practices were dominant in the country and they reflected the beliefs of different regions in the country. They also differed from one region to another and from one ethnicity to another. The present existence of the Law of England (Application) Act that allows all the laws operating in Britain as of 1888 to be used in The Gambia is an indication of how common law system gains traction in the country’s legal framework. It is obvious that common law is still alien to the practices in certain regions in The Gambia – especially the provincial part of the country but it is also clear that it contributes to maintenance of peace and justice. On the other hand, it causes social disorder as some societies fiind it inimical to their traditional practices. For example, the criminalization of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in 2015 and the current attempt to abrogate this law questions the compatibility of this criminalization with the cultural values of certain indigenous people. Therefore, for the country to strengthen its legal framework, the common law needs to be strengthened by moral values of Gambian society to address its problem of governance.

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in shaping societal values and challenging structural inequalities. This paper explores how literature, particularly Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” can be used as a tool to critically examine oppressive social norms within educational contexts. By applying Marxist and hyperrealist theories, the study analyzes how ritualistic violence in “The Lottery” mirrors real-world mechanisms of social control that sustain inequality. The paper argues that integrating literature into social sciences education can transform traditional learning approaches by encouraging students to question inherited norms and develop critical consciousness. This interdisciplinary approach aligns with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), advocating for education that empowers learners to actively engage in social transformation. The findings suggest that a literature-based pedagogy in social sciences can drive a deeper understanding of systemic issues and contribute to a more just and sustainable society. The study further emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary teaching approach where literature is used to foster critical thinking and inspire active participation in social change, supporting the realization of sustainable development goals.
