- Herb Thompson, Journal of Contemporary Asia,
<i>'This book is no doubt one of the key recent works on Japan's population aging and policies. While the material is primarily confined to the Japanese context, the Japanese experience with rapid population aging and policy responses may serve as a baseline for discussing important policy issues related to population aging in Europe and Asia. . . this volume lends itself to helping these policymakers in formulating and implementing effective policies to cope with various problems arising from unprecedented population aging in their countries.'</i>
- Journal of Pension Economics and Finance,
<i>'The book is successful in analyzing various issues such as employment, growth, elderly care, etc. of ageing in Japan, and presenting various policy recommendations to deal with these serious problems. One interesting aspect of the book is the analysis regarding the way Japan interacts with the world in terms of immigration and foreign investment, which has received little attention in the literature. It is certainly a valuable book.'</i>
- Toshiaki Tachibanaki, Kyoto University, Japan,
<i>'This wide-ranging collection of papers will be of value to anyone interested in the economics of ageing and the policy choices faced by the Japanese.'</i>
