Description

Noriko Tsukada, Nobuhiro Maeda, and Katsuya Iijima describe how training in gerontology has grown in Japan, in a paper published in two thousand twenty-three. Only two universities there grant degrees in the field: Oberlin University and the University of Tokyo.

Oberlin began a master's program in two thousand two and a doctoral program two years later. Tokyo set up a research division in two thousand six and a cross-department program in two thousand eight. Its division grew into an Institute of Gerontology the next year. A ministry grant funded Tokyo's program from two thousand fourteen to two thousand twenty-one. The university now funds it under a new name. The authors show how a small field took root and what keeps it going.
