About
Dr. Putri Elsy is a leading scholar in gerontology and social policy, whose work critically examines the intersection of aging populations and technological transformation. Her research centers on the challenges of hyper-ageing societies, particularly Japan’s pioneering experience with Society 5.0—a vision for a human-centered future that integrates advanced technologies into daily life. Her most-cited paper, “Elderly care in the society 5.0 and kaigo rishoku in Japanese hyper-ageing society” (2020, 17 citations), offers a groundbreaking analysis of *kaigo rishoku*, the phenomenon of workers leaving their jobs to care for aging relatives. By linking this crisis to Japan’s demographic shift—where the first baby boomers are now entering old age—Elsy highlights the urgent need for policy innovation. Her work has become essential reading for researchers and policymakers grappling with the global implications of aging populations, from caregiving burdens to workforce sustainability. Through her incisive scholarship, Elsy not only diagnoses systemic failures but also charts pathways for more resilient, inclusive elder care systems in an era of rapid societal change.
