Abstract: This paper examines the effects of the elimination of a 20% cut in the pension for regular workers aged 60?64 years in 2005 on the supply of elderly Japanese labor. For data, we use the 2004 and 2007 Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions. The estimation results indicate that the change increased the supply of male regular workers and decreased that of nonregular workers aged 60?64 years but did not increase the overall labor supply.
