title: Pasting your Umbrella Before the Rain: A Case Study.
abstract: This case study tells from a participant's viewpoint how the results of large-scale social surveys and demographic projections are translated into educational program objectives and, more importantly, an educational product that gears into the thinking patterns of a younger generation. Cultural, bureaucratic and political obstacles to change and how they were overcome or not are reviewed in this chronological unfolding of the development of Taiwan's first population education approach in the classroom.
