Japan and the Future of a Post-Population Growth Economy

Nguyen, Chi Dang Quang LU (2024) EOSK12 20241
Department of Economic History
Abstract
This thesis investigates the relationship between demographic ageing and economic growth in Japan, updating existing literature with more empirical evidence from recent decades. It conducts its investigations through OLS regressions on macro-level time series data for Japan. The paper finds empirical evidence which suggests that the relationship between demographic ageing and economic growth is not a direct one. Instead, the older populations are less capable of utilising machine capital in their labour, thus lessening the latter’s effectiveness in boosting labour productivity. It provides an alternative explanation to Japan’s recent economic performance and perhaps highlights the importance of automation in a post-population growth world.
