Outline:
The mid-21st century will be characterized by two huge disruptions: the massive demographic shift of ageing and shrinking populations in most industrialized economies, and the digital transformation with its introduction of autonomous systems, machine learning and ubiquitous inter-connectivity. This talk lays out how these two events are deeply interconnected through the issues of labor and employment, using Japan as a case study. The findings suggest a new model of economic development which builds on the paradigm shifts brought on by the digital transformation.
