Inter-generational Equity under the Increasing Longevity

JCER Medium-Term Economic Forecast Team
We examine how the extension of life span will affect the relative advantage of each generation, as Japan enters the age of the centenarian. In addition to evaluating the benefits (consumption) that can be additionally enjoyed with a longer life span, we will also focus on the economic contribution by the elderly working longer. If seniors extend their working and earning lives, rolling back the age at which they begin receiving pension benefits, the government's fiscal balance of tax and social security will improve, which can reduce the burden on young and future generations. We consider how far it may be possible to avoid outcomes which place the greatest burden on the youngest generations.
