Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Japan's aging population has resulted in a decrease in its labor force, leading to concerns about its economy. To address this issue, Japan has been encouraging older people and women to work, as they are segments of the population that have traditionally been underutilized in the labor force. Increasing the birth rate, shifting jobs overseas, or encouraging immigration are not viable solutions to this issue.
