But what is causing these problems? How can we face, confront\u00a0and ultimately solve these complex issues? Why not sit down with future\u00a0medical professionals and discuss these topics together?<\/p>\n<p>For this event no prior knowledge of medicine or specialist English\u00a0terminology is required. Also as Japan is not the only country currently\u00a0struggling with a low birth rate, international students are welcome to\u00a0share information about the situation in their own countries too!<br \/>\nThis is an unique opportunity for Waseda students to interact and chat\u00a0in a casual setting with students from another university!
