Review

"'The book is successful in analyzing various issues such as employment, growth, elderly care, etc. of ageing in Japan, and presenting various policy recommendations to deal with these serious problems. One interesting aspect of the book is the analysis regarding the way Japan interacts with the world in terms of immigration and foreign investment, which has received little attention in the literature. It is certainly a valuable book.' - Toshiaki Tachibanaki, Kyoto University, Japan 'This wide-ranging collection of papers will be of value to anyone interested in the economics of ageing and the policy choices faced by the Japanese.' - Mark Rebick, Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, UK 'The book is composed of excellent contributions on the most pressing problems Japan faces in the immediate future, written by economists of the highest quality in Japan. Not only will it be a useful reference for students interested in economics, but also it will serve as a valuable and useful guide to policy makers in Japan.' - Hirofumi Uzawa, The Development Bank of Japan 'This volume brings together a wide range of papers from leading experts on the Japanese economy who analyze some of the central issues that face an economy that will experience unprecedented demographic change. There are many policy issues that face Japanese governments as they respond to the profound changes in the labor market that stem from ageing. There is much to be learned about the appropriate policies from the work summarized in this wide-ranging book.' - David Miles, Morgan Stanley, UK 'The problem of ageing has become acute in many rich countries today. This book by world-class Yale professor Koichi Hamada, the most distinguished Japanese economist today, and Hiromi Kato is an important and incisive contribution to our understanding of the Japanese situation. It should become a classic study.' - Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University, US"
