This book looks at the economic consequences of the political decisions embodied in the Japanese public pension system under conditions of a rapidly aging population. Projections imply that Japan's population will peak out in ten to fifteen years, then begin to fall, a situation which could cause serious social and economic disruption. The author also presents the current economic status of the elderly, and estimates income transfers between generations through public pensions.
