Japan is now facing an aging society with fewer children. According to the demographic change in Japan, its economic effect on the economic growth has gained public attention. This paper focuses on the effect of the demographic change on economic growth in Japan, too. The first part illustrates the process of demographic transition in Japan. Thanks to successful Meiji Revitalizing Reform, Japan had experienced demographic transition earlier than the other East Asia countries. The second part of this paper describes relations between demographic factors and economic growth theoretically. In addition, it analyzes demographic effects on economic growth empirically using time series data of Japan from 1952 to 2005. It is the main finding of analyses that there are positive relations between demographic factor, including employment population rate, population rate and TFR, and economic growth. Therefore, in the near future, a decreasing labor force will cause economic stagnation in Japan. To overcome this problems, it is required to make various policies.

自2000年以来, 中國的人口結构出現了加速變遷。人口老齡化程度快速加深, "人口紅利"逐漸消退成爲中國人口結构變動的顯著趨勢。目前, 中國已全面進入人口老化, 創新引領的産業結构优化兩類特征疊加的發展时期, 因此急需全面有效協調這兩類發展戰略。日益嚴重的人口老齡化改變了中國的人口結构, 使得之前有利于經濟增長的人口紅利迅速消失, 阻碍了經濟的快速增長和健康發展, 如何有效應對人口老齡化對經濟和社会的負面影響已經變得越来越急迫和重要。在上述背景下, 人口結构變遷会對産業結构産生何种影響？本文的硏究首先介紹了人口老齡化的背景, 進而又設明了本硏究的研究意義。探討人口老齡化對制造業結构影響的效果, 途徑和机制, 幷在此基础上提出优化中國制造業結构的政策建義。

Customers of local monopolistic department store can switch their store more easily than ever due to the rapidly changing environment in distribution system represented by multi-store-strategy of large department stores, increase in discount store and growing non-store retailing system. Consequently, local department stores which enjoyed their business with little competition are forced to study and understand the customer switching behavior. This work is intended to understand the switching behavior characteristics of monopolistic local clepartrrent store users. For the end, previous researches are reviewed firstly, then characteristics of store-switching behavior of custorrers amid rapidly changing distribution environment are studied in view of the relations of dissatisfaction factor, switching barrier, switch intention and custorrer characteristics such as shopping orientation, variety-seeking behavior, degree of openess to competition and sociodemographics. Study shows that; 1) dissatisfaction factor is related to customer characteristics (shopping orientation and degree of openess to competition), 2) switching barrier recognition is related to customer characteristics (degree of openess to competition and sociodemographics) and dissatisfaction factor, 3) intention to switch to expected competitor is related to customer characteristics (shopping orientation, degree of openess to competition and sociodemographics) and switching barrier recognition. Accordingly, switch control strategy of the monopolistic local department store facing competitors' entry into market, must be made, specifically, in a way to understand customer characteristics and to make deliberate effort to reduce customer dissatisfaction.

This study explores a changing social expenditure structure of welfare states on new social risks, using logistic regression analysis with Panel Corrected Standard Errors Model on panel data of 1997-2007 years from 27 OECD nations. The result of this study presents that social expenditure structures have been adjusted with new social risk structure due to trade openness, female employment rates, and child population rates. Greater trade openness, higher women's employment rates, and lower child population rates are, more social investment expenditures are than income security expenditures. Rates of employment in service industries and elderly population rates are not statistically significant on the change of social expenditure structure. This result does not imply a complete switch from demand-based to supply-based social policy, but somewhat reflects transitions of a social welfare system for changing economic and social environments in order to sustain welfare state economically.

Korea, China and Japan have been undergoing economic development, demographic transition and population aging, in a speed unparalleled in world history. This paper examines, for each of these countries, on (i) the trend and prospect of the effective dependency burden (EDB) in terms of stable population and (ii) the optimum fertility path which will lead to a stable population with the minimum level of EDB under the trend and prospect of decreasing age specific mortality rates. It then evaluates (iii) the transitory EDB costs of pro-natal policies during the adjustment process of stabilization and (iv) the effectiveness of other supplementary policies which influence EDB parameters.

세계 선진국들은 이미 고령화시대를 대비하는 많은 움직임을 보이고 있다. 우리나라도 이젠 점점 고령화의 진전에 따라 경제적으로 많은 영향을 주고 있음을 인식하고 있다. 특히 그 중 노동공급이 축소, 즉 생산 가능인구(15∼64세)의 감소는 기업차원에서 큰 문제가 되고 있다. 2000년 전체 인구 중 생산 가능인구(15∼64세) 비중은 71.7%이고, 고령사회로 전환되는 2030년에는 64.6%로 감소할 것으로 예상되고 있다.(중략)
