Japan's ageing population, another concern for economy

It is widely agreed that Japan's ageing population not only constrains labour supply, but also aggravates the government's debt burden.  

The first 'baby boomers', aged 65-70, grew up during Japan's rapid economic growth era and represent a highly qualified workforce with valuable talent and cumulative professional skills. 

The government could attempt to boost employment in this age group or encourage them to mentor younger talent, in order to galvanise the job market and economic growth.

Concerns about the employment of Japan's young generation are as important as those about its ageing population.
