项目摘要

I have intended to study on ageing and ageism in political economy.1. Ageism, like sexism and racism, has been shaped with the development of capitalist economy, which is founded on the fundamental principle such as efficiency and laissez faire market system.2. The aged, as well as women and handicapped, used to be treated as 'weaker persons' in the nation states in the West since the late 19^<th> century. They got some kinds of welfare benefits such as the Old Age Pension in Britain and Medicare Benefits in US. But they have been getting excluded and marginalized from labor market.3. Since the late 20^<th> century, population in the world, especially developed countries including Japan, is getting to graying. Many policy makers and economists in those countries have dismal perspectives of getting graying population.4. This is the background of the reverse of image on the aged from negative to positive. The aged used to be counted as the Weak, negative image. As it is 'the aging myths', said Robert Butler, gerontologist of US, it must be reversed to positive aging, especially productive aging, based on the human right to work.5. On the research of the old age people in Hirose-cho in Shimane, back country area, and Fukuyama, town area by our research project team, we got a very interesting conclusions that the old people in Hirose-cho take more productive aging idea in their everyday life than citied old people in Fukuyama.

我打算研究政治经济学中的衰老和年龄歧视。1。年龄歧视，例如性别歧视和种族主义，是根据资本主义经济的发展来塑造的，资本主义经济的发展是建立在诸如效率和Laissez Faire Market System.2的基本原则的基础上。2。自19^<th>世纪后期以来，西方国家的老年人以及妇女和残障人士都被视为“弱者”。他们获得了某种福利，例如英国的老年养老金和美国的医疗保险福利。但是他们被排除在外和从劳动力市场上被边缘化。3。自20个世纪后期以来，世界上尤其是包括日本在内的发达国家的人口开始呈灰色。这些国家的许多政策制定者和经济学家对人口灰白色的人口有沮丧的观点。4。这是从负面到阳性的年龄上图像反向的背景。老年人曾经被视为弱的负图像。我们的老年医生罗伯特·巴特勒（Robert Butler）说，这是“老龄化的神话”，它必须根据人类的工作权，将其逆转为积极的衰老，尤其是富有生产力的衰老。5。关于我们研究项目团队的乡村地区的Hirose-Cho的老年人和福山地区的福山（Fukuyama）的研究，我们得出了一个非常有趣的结论，即Hirose-Cho的老人在日常生活中比福克山（Fukuyama）的老年人在日常生活中更有生产力的老龄化想法。
