Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) might be able to substitute for young workers in Japan. This suggests ICT innovation may reduce the effects of aging on the Japanese economy. We also found a complementary relationship between ICT capital and high education workers.

The importance of older worker's skills declined from the 1980s to the 1990s. One of the cornerstones of Japan's aging industry--long-term work relationships with extensive and specialized on-the-job training--therefore became less important. Furthermore, on the negative side, we also found that outsourcing in the ICT service industry (including software and Internet) has been rather inefficient in Japan.
