目的预期寿命的增加带来了老龄化社会，对养老服务的需求也随之增加。本文旨在探讨老龄化社会对养老服务需求和养老服务劳动力市场的影响；最终产品部门和老年护理部门之间的劳动份额和工资不平等是如何确定的；养老服务补贴是否会增加养老服务需求。设计/方法/方法本文建立了两部门的动态一般均衡模型：一个是最终产品部门，另一个是老年护理服务部门。本文在理论模型中推导了养老服务的劳动力供给是如何确定的。在分析研究工作的基础上，本文通过数值实例考察了养老服务补贴对养老部门劳动分配份额的影响以及最终产品部门与养老部门之间工资不平等的影响。相关的文献报告描述了老龄化社会提高了老年人护理服务的劳动力份额。然而，考虑到储蓄影响资本存量的封闭经济，老龄化社会并不总是提高用于养老服务的劳动力份额，因为最终产品部门的工资率随着老龄化社会的增加而增加。这种影响阻碍了养老服务劳动力供给的增加。另一方面，养老服务补贴提高了养老部门的劳动份额。研究局限/启示：相关文献得出老龄化社会提高了养老部门的劳动分配份额。然而，本文表明，养老补贴对养老部门劳动份额的增加起着重要作用。本文通过数值实例考察了老龄化社会对养老行业劳动收入占比、最终产品行业与养老行业工资不平等等方面的影响。通过数值算例，推导出定量结果，说明养老服务补贴应如何提供。作者认为本文具有丰富的内涵和独创性。目前还没有文献研究老龄化和养老服务补贴如何决定养老行业的劳动份额和养老行业的相对工资率。作者认为这是一个非常重要的分析，因为许多经济发达国家都面临着老龄化社会问题。
PurposeAn increase in life expectancy brings about an aging society, necessitating increasing demand for elderly care services. The purpose of this paper is to present an examination of: how an aging society affects the demand for elderly care services and the labor market for elderly care services; how the labor share and wage inequality between the final goods sector and elderly care sector are determined; and whether the subsidy for elderly care service increases demand for elderly care services or not.Design/methodology/approachThis paper sets the dynamics general equilibrium model with two sectors model: one for final goods sector and the other for elderly care services. This paper derives how the labor supply for elderly care services is determined in the theoretical model. In addition to analytical research works, this paper examines how the subsidy for elderly care service affects the labor share allocated for elderly care sector and wage inequality between the final goods sector and the elderly care sector with the numerical examples.FindingsRelated reports of the literature describe that an aging society raises the share of labor dedicated to elderly care services. However, considering a closed economy in which saving affects the capital stock, an aging society does not always raise the share of labor used for elderly care services because the wage rate of the final goods sector increases with an aging society. This effect prevents the increase of the labor supplied to elderly care services. On the other hand, the subsidy for the elderly care service raises the labor share of elderly care sector.Research limitations/implicationsThe related literatures derive that an aging society raises the labor share allocated for elderly care sector. However, the paper shows that the subsidy for elderly care plays an important role in the increase in the labor share of elderly care sector.Practical implicationsThis paper examines how the aging society affects the labor share of elderly care sector, wage inequality between final goods sector and elderly care sector and others with numerical examples. Thanks to the numerical examples, this paper derives the quantitative result and shows how the subsidy for elderly care service should be provided.Originality/valueThe author thinks that this paper has rich implications and originality. There exists no literature that examines how the labor share of elderly care sector and the relative wage rate of elderly care sector are determined by the aging and the subsidy for elderly care service. The author thinks that it is a very important analysis because many economically developed countries face the aging society problem.
