Editorial

I am pleased to introduce the first Asia Pacific Sustainable Development Journal (APSDJ, vol. 32, No. 1) of 2025. The focus of this issue is on the demographic transition in Asia-Pacific countries and its intergenerational implications. The special theme section, “Demographic change and intergenerational relations”, was coordinated by Sabine Henning of the Social Development Division of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), under the overall supervision of the Social Development Division Director, Srinivas Tata.
