"Demography of Sexuality" (edited by Hiroshi Kojima and Kohei Wada/original Shobo), authored by Associate Professor SUZUKI Toshimitsu of Department of International Commerce Faculty of Economics, received the Promotion Award from the Population Association of Japan. While the declining birthrate and aging population have become a major issue, there has been little research in Japan on topics such as gender identity, sexual behavior, dating behavior, and LGBT. Dr. Suzuki's paper empirically analyzes the structure, patterns and factors of intermarriage diplomacy based on survey data, and casts a stone on difficult themes.

This book, published as a General Enlightenment Book, is expected to play a role in spreading the usefulness of demographics to society, and was awarded the "Encouragement Award" by the Population Association of Japan.

[The Population Association of Japan was established in November 1948 and has a history of more than 70 years.
