Conference and publication - Economics of ageing: Japan in comparative perspective

27 July 2026, Tokyo, Japan
The Journal of the Economics of Ageing’s special issue will be presented at University of Tokyo. This issue gathers a dozen papers and offers an overview on demographic challenges and academic literature, namely a comparative study of population ageing and the socio-economic implications between France and Japan. 6 papers are related to macroeconomics: impact on aggregate final consumption, fiscal implication under population aging in Japan, ageing workforce. And 4 papers are related to older workers and long-term care. This publication will hopefully give valuable insights for cross-country comparisons, interactions between labor and care giving and in a way the impact of industrial robots and service robots on long-term care policies, to be studied in the European Union also facing demographic challenges as shown in the European-Japanese Innovcare project.
