Alternative pension reform strategies for Japan

David Miles and Aleš Černý

Chapter 4 in The Economics of Social Security in Japan, 2004 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive appraisal of social security in Japan, where traditionally the burden of welfare provision has been the main responsibility of the family and employers, rather than the state. However, an ageing population, changes in family structure and continued recession has led to an urgent reappraisal of this situation.
