What will Japan look like in 20 years? - Noriko Tsuya
The pace of ageing in Japan is a fascinating yet daunting trend for demographers in the country.
The speed in which the population is entering the elderly phase is faster than developed Western European economies. It took 61 years in Italy; 85 years in Sweden and 115 years in France for their elderly populations to double. For Japan, it only took 24 years.
Keio University's Professor of Economics Noriko Tsuya told Alan Soon, a Knight Foundation fellow from Yahoo, about the implications of a rapidly ageing population on Japan.

Ewald Nowotny - The Euro and the European Response to the Crisis
Talking about the current situation in the Eurozone Governor Nowotny stressed that it was not a crisis of the Euro but a crisis of several member countries of the Eurozone. He pointed out that the Euro fulfilled two main functions of the currency: to serve as a means of payment and as a store of value. Over the last decade, average inflation exactly matched European Central Bank's (ECB) definition of price stability which is below but close to 2%. According to Nowotny the Euro helped to overcome the problem at the European level -- there was no exchange rate volatility, the ECB reacted swiftly and effectively in the aftermath of the crisis, and Europe on the whole proved its solidarity and ability to act by adopting recovery plans, opening a rescue umbrella and moving forward with the reform debate.

The infrastructures of globalization - in particular the internet - encourage us to imagine the world as a thoroughly connected place, where people, goods and ideas flow freely across borders. The reality is more complicated - atoms are surprisingly mobile, while the mobility of bits is constrained by people's interests. If readers are fascinated by a story - the Green Revolution in Iran - they'll seek out available information. If they're not, whatever professional or amateur reporting is produced won't reach an audience.
Media development professionals need to stop assuming that global infrastructures equal global coverage or global interest - instead, we need to map what coverage is actually being produced and start mapping people's consumption of media. We can rapidly discover that old imbalances in international media coverage are sustained in a digital age and that tools like Facebook don't magically build connections across borders of language, nation and culture.
If we want citizen media to help close gaps in understanding, we need to take steps to make it easier for people to discover and embrace content from other parts of the world. This involves routinizing translation, creating curation strategies that emphasize serendipity over existing search or social discovery methods, and taking advantage of bridge figures who can contextualize local stories. Our goal might be to cultivate xenophiles, who are fascinated with the diversity of the world and anxious to do the hard work to cross barriers of language and culture.
