Institute of Population Problems, Health and Welfare Ministry The population problems are the research theme from ancient times to present times and also towards future times. Accordingly in order to be fruitful to this research, we must develop new idea by an integrated study not only from the viewpoint of socio-economic field but also political and cultural field. Population statistics are one of the data, but now this technic rather preferentially is studied. Therefore the research of population theory or population philosophy etc. which show the important study as population problems, become to be made light. However as shown in Japanese population trend after war, such rapid population changes which mean that birth rate and death rate became half within ten years, could not be realised through the line of old population theory. Then centering around the demographic tendency in Japan, I summarise these population problems as follows.1) What are problems until the reach to the stabilization of population, 2) Leveling up the population quality in future, 3) Regional and occupational population problems, 4) Problems of relation between population and social welfare system, 5) Research project of the magnitude of population quake in future.Above mentioned 5 subjects must be researched as a population-reseacher, especially the problems of population quake are one of new idea, because as they often say the population explosion, we must explore and analyse the meaning or content of it. Therefore under the background of presumption which something like quake may break up before the explosion. I would like to make a plan of the predicted index to contribute to the better population policy plan. Now many anthropologists begin to research the population problems and increase the power of speech or proposal to this problems especially from the point of cultural field. I would like to point out that one of target of anthropology also should be to resolve the population problems.
