The Japanese economy is in the midst of a fundamental change driven by two economicforces: aging population and rapid progress in information and communication technology.Population aging has attracted much discussion, mostly with respect to their impacts on themacroeconomic future of the Japanese economy in such issues as sustainable pension andhealth care systems and the optimal policy mix of debts and taxes to finance governmentexpenditure. Technological progress in information and communication has also been a hotissue both politically and economically, but most discussion has been concentrated on itsmicroeconomic impacts on the Japanese industries.

Rapid advance of information and communicationtechnology may imply a drastic change in work place and job structure, which may alter theimpact of aging work force.
