Announcing Fall 2006 Jefferson Fellowships for Journalists

Theme: Population and Social Dynamics in the Asia Pacific
Dates: October 15-November 12, 2006

Travel Destinations: Honolulu, Hawaii; Tokyo and Hiroshima, Japan;
Bangkok, Thailand; New Delhi and Mumbai, India

Who Can Apply: Working print and broadcast journalists in the United
States, Asia and the Pacific Islands with a minimum of five years of
experience.

Applications and More Information: See www.eastwestcenter.org/jefferson
Application Deadline: Wednesday, June 21, 2006

Sponsorship and Funding: Sponsored by the East-West Center in Honolulu,
Hawaii. Airfare, lodging, per diem and other program expenses provided
through a grant from The Freeman Foundation, of Stowe, Vermont.

Contacts: Send applications and questions by email to
mailto:seminars@eastwestcenter.org or phone (808) 944-7384
or fax at (808) 944-7600.

Program Summary:

Baby busts and aging booms, more women joining the work force and more
young adults looking for jobs, globalization and urbanization reshaping
traditional cultures and family roles: dynamic forces such as these are
changing the face and future of the Asia Pacific and creating new economic
and social challenges in the region.

The “aging” of nations is occurring throughout Asia, especially in East
Asian countries that are starting to see population declines. Japan, where
more women are postponing marriage or remaining single, will soon have the
world’s oldest population. This requires new policies to meet the needs of
the elderly and maintain economic growth, issues receiving more attention
in the United States as well. At the same time, while women throughout
Asia are having fewer babies, populations in parts of the region will
continue to grow for many years, especially in South Asia. India alone is
projected to contribute 37 percent of Asia’s population growth between
2000 and 2050. Adolescents and young adults in a number of countries,
including Thailand, are making up larger percentages of the populations,
creating increased demands for jobs and forcing more people into cities to
find them. Globalization and other pressures on cultures and families have
led to shifting attitudes toward gender relations, marriage and family
life.

In presentations to one another and in sessions with East-West Center and
other Honolulu-based experts, Jefferson Fellows will discuss a wide range
of demographic and social issues facing countries throughout the Asia
Pacific region and in the United States. In a 21-day study tour, Fellows
will visit Japan, Thailand and India — three democratic nations
experiencing varying stages of economic development and population
transition — to explore each country’s unique set of challenges and how
they are being met by policymakers and the larger societies. Issues will
be examined within the greater context of economics, politics, security,
religion and culture.
