Abstract

​

This conference is the twenty-fifth since the holding of the Northeast Asia conference for the first time in February 1990 in Niigata. Thus I would like to look back on the changes in Northeast Asia over the last quarter century. Specifically, I would like to point out several economic or societal indices. When preparing this report, I undertook the collection and summarizing of data focusing on four points. Specifically, I would like to pursue the subject while introducing data regarding changes at the local level, in addition to national-level data relating to “economic growth”, “structural change”, and “trade”.​
