2) special issue on Social Policies and Well-being in Later Life in the Journal of Positive Psychology:
www.tandf.co.uk/journals/cfp/rposcfp.pdf

This special session/ issue adopts a cross-national perspective and thus seeks contributions from a variety of countries with ageing populations. Comparative studies are particularly welcome, but research focusing on one particular nation is also within the scope of this special session/ issue.

Obviously, Japan as the country with the most aged population in the world, lends itself particularly well to research this topic.

Sincerely,

Florian Kohlbacher
