Briefer: Yohei Harada, Hakuhodo Brand Design Youth Research Center Leader

 

“Yanki consumption” has been receiving a lot of attention recently as an important consumption trend for the Japanese economy in the future [yankii: low-income youth subculture]. It is often said youth consumption has stopped, but there is a “mild yanki” group who develop strong relationships and lives in their hometowns and have no interest in coming to Tokyo, yet have a strong desire to spend. How will they drive the Japanese economy?

 

The FPCJ has invited the author of Yankii Keizai [Yanki Economy], Mr. Yohei Harada, leader of the Hakuhodo Brand Design Youth Research Center and a specialist in youth consumer habits and lifestyle research and marketing in Japan and Asia, to speak about youth consumer behavior and their influence on society.

 

Don’t miss this chance!
