A special conference organized by Hitotsubashi University and IARIW will be held in Tokyo on March 24-26, 2025. Join us for a discussion on recent research on income and wealth with a focus on aging and enjoy the cherry blossom season. Immediately following this event, the 8th WorldKLEMS Conference will be held in Tokyo on March 27-28, 2025. Why not attend both?

The rapid growth of the global population is the result of a decline in infant mortality and an increase in life expectancy, against a backdrop of remarkable advances in health and medical technology, especially during the last century and the present century. Supported by such population growth and technological development, some developing countries, particularly many Asian countries, are achieving high economic growth rates. On the other hand, high-income countries have been experiencing declining birth rates and ageing age structures, and this trend is spreading to middle-income countries as their economies continue to develop. These problems have also led to the ageing of society as a whole and have been derisively referred to as “Global Ageing “

The impact of demographic changes on macroeconomic activity has attracted the attention of many economists. If demographic changes, especially the ageing of the population, affect many aspects of macroeconomic activity, then current economic measurement must also accommodate such changes. Specifically, it is necessary to measure income, consumption, and economic welfare, considering heterogeneity by age group, and to develop statistical indices that can identify trends in these areas. There is also a strong possibility that asset inequality will widen as the population ages.This special meeting will focus on economic measurement issues in response to the changes in economic activity expected to arise in the ageing of the population.
