Aunque el envejecimiento de la población sea hoy ya en sí mismo un tema de interés para cualquier país y la comparación de las políticas públicas dirigidas a afrontarlo la forma más elemental y siempre fructífera de abordarlo, el estudio específico de los casos japonés y español (y, por extensión, europea) de sus elementos comunes y sus diferencias, tuvo, tiene y tendrá un especial interés para los investigadores, las autoridades y los actores sociales implicados en el problema. Envejecimiento de la población en España y Japón: estudio comparativo y posibles implicaciones para Europa y Asia Pacífico surge a partir de la celebración entre el 13 y el 17 de octubre de 2008 de un simposium, en el centro cultural Hispano-Japonés de la Universidad de Salamanca, con la participación de profesores de Europa y de Japón. El éxito de este seminario determinó la voluntad de plasmar en un libro las aportaciones más interesantes de cada uno de los brillantes investigadores que allí participaron.

Tarihsel açıdan bakıldığında, yaşlılık iki açıdan değerlendirmek zorunda olduğumuz bir kavramdır. Bir taraftan değişen sınırlarını, diğer taraftan geçmişteki enderliğini göz önüne almadan yaşlılığın bugünkü anlamlarını kavramakta zorluk çekebiliriz. Hatta buna bir “gerontokratik” olarak tanımlanan toplumları da eklemeliyiz. Yaşlılara saygının vurgulandığı toplumlarda da tüm yaşlılar aynı saygıyı görmemiş, aynı iktidar gücüne layık görülmemişlerdir. Aksine yaşlıya saygı kavramının göreli olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Değer atıfları, bakış tarzları, kişisel tecrübeler, anlamlandırmalar ve ideolojiler yaşlının konumu ve kaderini tayin etmiştir ve etmeye devam etmektedir. Kafalarda canlanan yaşlı görüntülerinin oluşumunda sosyokültürel koşullar rol oynamaktadır. Henüz bir alfabesi olamayan arkaik toplumlardaki yaşlı algılarını bugünkü toplumun yaşlı algıları ile karşılaştırırken dikkatli olunmalıdır. O toplumlarda yaşlılar tecrübe ve geleneksel bilgilerin taşıyıcıları olarak algılandıkları için yüksek saygınlık sahibiydiler. Ama belirtildiği gibi hepsi değil, sadece din adamları ve kâhinler buna layık görülmüşlerdir. Fakat çok çabuk da bu saygınlığı yitirdikleri bilinmektedir. Çünkü bulundukları yüksek pozisyonu, yaşları ilerlediği için elde etmemişlerdir. Arkaik toplumlarda tek başına bırakılıp ölüme terk edilen, boğularak veya döve döve öldürme olayları normal gelenekler arasında yer alıyordu. Soğuk ve verimsiz topraklarda göçebe hayatı yaşayan toplumlarda yaşlıların katli; besin kıtlığı, ekonomik kıtlık ve yaşlıların “sihirli gücünden” korkan gençlerin uyguladıkları bir yöntemdi. Bu yüzden eskiden beri kadın erkek ayrımı yapılmadan yaşlılara saygı duymakla övünen toplumların yaşlılığın tarihsel süreçteki değişen anlamlarını iyi kavramaları gerekmektedir. Özellikle bugün ileri yaşlıların hızla çoğaldığı, aralarında bizim de yer aldığımız toplumlar açısından bu tavsiyenin önemi, bu ciltte ele aldığımız yaşlılıkta bakım ve sağlık konusu açısından apayrı anlamlar kazanmaktadır. Bir ansiklopedi niteliği taşıyan elinizdeki kitap, geceli gündüzlü üç yıllık yoğun bir emeğin sonucudur. Gerontoloji alanının dünya çapında tanınan ve duayen olarak kabul gören uzmanlarının bölüm yazarları olarak eşsiz bilgilerini ve tecrübelerini aktardığı iki ciltten oluşan bu kitaptaki bölümleri büyük bir heyecanla ve keyifle okuyacağınızı düşünüyoruz. İki cilt olarak hazırlanan bu kitapta demografiden psikolojiye, antropolojiden sosyolojiye, ekonomiden yaşam ve çevre bilimlerine, eğitimden teknolojiye, siyasetten sosyal refaha, biyolojiden psikiyatriye, uzun dönemli bakımdan koruyucu sağlığa, beslenmeden engelliliğe, aile yapılarından yaşlılara yönelik şiddete geniş bir yelpazede Gerontoloji Biliminin konuları ele alınmıştır.
