abstract: 'The rapid aging of Japan''s population and workforce has prompted
proposals by key political and economic actors to advocate for
immigration, though public sentiment has generally been opposed to
immigration. Japan has therefore undertaken social policies to mobilize
seniors and women as workers and establish gender equality in
employment. These measures have sought to reduce the rising costs faced
by Japan''s pension system and mitigate the long-term decline of the
country''s fertility rate. The author examines the efficacy of these
social policies in the context of Japan''s deregulation of labor markets
and the expansion of flexible and low-wage employment arrangements.
Although the proportion of nonregular employment has grown since the
late 1980s, it has not created gains in productivity, though it has
increased economic disparities. These outcomes suggest that the
importation of unskilled immigrants as a (similarly) cheap source of
labor would not be an adequate solution.'
