本文利用韩国个体工人数据定量研究了老龄化对劳动生产率的影响。我们发现，获得信息和通信技术 (ICT) 技能并参加与工作相关的培训可以帮助老年工人保持生产力。测算结果表明，ICT技能水平对50-64岁高学历或技能密集型职业老年劳动者的工资有正向影响。职业培训对老年工人的工资也有显着的积极影响。即使与年轻工人相比，受过良好教育的老年工人也可以通过更高的 ICT 技能水平和职业培训参与来提高生产力。有证据表明，通过培训老年工人掌握信息通信技术技能，可以缓解因老龄化过程而导致的生产力下降。
This paper quantitatively examines the effects of aging on labor productivity using individual worker data in Korea. We find that attainment of information and communications technology (ICT) skills and participation in job-related training can help older workers stay productive. The estimation results present that ICT skills attainment has a positive effect on the wages of the older workers aged 50–64 with a high level of education or in a skill-intensive occupation. Job training also has a significant positive effect on the wages of older workers. Even compared to younger workers, older well-educated workers can be more productive through higher ICT skills attainment and job-training participation. The evidence suggests that a productivity decrease in line with the aging process can be mitigated by training aging workers to equip themselves with ICT skills.
