日本老年人就业人数预计到 2040 年增长 1.4 倍

日本 2024 年经济财政白皮书指出,日本老年人健康状况良好,并有强烈的长期工作意愿。预计到 2040 年,60 岁以上就业人数将增长至目前的 1.4 倍,达到 2031 万人。企业发现老年人是宝贵的劳动力,其经验和知识能够指导年轻员工。虽然返聘员工的工资通常会降低,但近年来降幅正在缩小。调查显示,15% 的企业为返聘员工提供与退休前相同的工资水平,工资下降到退休前 6 成以下的企业不到 1 成。白皮书还研究了提高退休年龄对企业经营指标的影响,发现虽然人工成本率上升,但收益率没有明显差异。白皮书指出,老年人就业增加了消费支出,并强调需要建立机制,最大限度地支持老年人就业意愿,包括调整在职老龄年金制度和年收入壁垒。

Summary: The 2024 Economic and Fiscal White Paper of Japan states that Japanese seniors are healthy and have a strong desire to work long-term. It is estimated that the number of employed individuals aged 60 and above will increase to 1.4 times the current level, reaching 20.31 million by 2040. Businesses find seniors to be valuable assets, with their experience and knowledge being able to guide younger employees. While the salaries of re-employed workers often decrease, the rate of decrease has been shrinking in recent years. Surveys show that 15% of companies offer re-employed workers the same salary level as before retirement, and less than 10% of companies experience salary reductions to less than 60% of pre-retirement levels. The White Paper also examines the impact of raising the retirement age on business performance indicators, finding that while the labor cost ratio rises, there is no significant difference in profitability. The White Paper points out that employment of seniors has increased consumer spending and emphasizes the need to establish mechanisms that maximize support for the employment intentions of seniors, including adjustments to the in-service elderly pension system and the annual income barrier.
