| Course description |
|
Led by cutting-edge science and technology such as globalization and ICT, our socio-economy is expected to develop further in the future. On the other hand, the declining birthrate and aging of the working-age population not only makes the outlook for productivity and potential growth uncertain but also has considerable impacts on the sustainability of the social security system. Thus, today's socio-economic situation is very complex. This course aims to highlight the complexities of real socio-economics while creating opportunities for first-time economics students to learn basic theory. In addition to looking back on the history of economics as a solution to the problem, we will hypothetically examine the ideal socio-economic system in the future. |
| Expected Learning |
|
(1) Enable to identify the difference between the microeconomy and the macroeconomy based on the magnitude and spread of the economic events that occur around us. (2) Understand the effectiveness of basic analytical tools in economics so that they can be applied hypothetically to actual problems. (3) Enable to discover requirements for the future socio-economic system to function in a more desirable manner. |
