In the future Japanese society, the public service area that the government can cover will become narrower and narrower.
This means that there will be gaps in various areas such as welfare and medical care that we have enjoyed so far.
It becomes more prominent in rural areas. The aging population and the declining population due to social and natural declines are accelerating, and for the "regions" that exist in various parts of Japan, it already exists as a sense of crisis with a real feeling.
Under these circumstances, we will face various social issues that are becoming more and more apparent.
So who fills that blank area? Who will face such social issues? It could only be a private sector or a partnership between the private sector and the government. It means that we have to become players ourselves.
It is an era in which we must protect and support our society by ourselves.
In such a context, one key for approaching social problem solving is social business that aims to solve social problems through business and social finance that has the potential to support it and lead to more innovative areas.
The purpose of this lecture is to acquire the design skills of highly feasible social business that will lead to the solution of social issues by learning the basic knowledge of social finance and the process for implementation.
