This book provides an overview of the key challenges faced by Japan and OECD's main policy recommendations to address them. Drawing on the OECD’s expertise in comparing country experiences and identifying best practices, the book tailors the OECD’s policy advice to the specific and timely priorities of Japan, focusing on how its government can make reform happen.

With 25 years of sluggish economic growth, Japan’s per capita income has fallen from a level matching the average of the top half of OECD countries in the early 1990s to 14% below that today. Weak growth, together with rapid population ageing, has driven public debt into uncharted territory. Revitalising growth is thus the top priority for the Japanese government. With the labour force shrinking more rapidly than the population, per capita output can only grow through improvements in labour productivity and labour force participation. Japan’s highly-skilled labour force and its technological leadership can help close the gap with leading OECD countries in per capita income. But broad-based structural reforms, as envisaged in the third arrow of Abenomics, are needed to allow these strengths to fully achieve their potential. The initial impact of Abenomics in 2013 was impressive, and the reform process needs to continue.

Japan has achieved a comparatively high level of well-being: skill levels are high, unemployment is low and life expectancy at birth is the highest in the OECD. Since its launch in 2013, Abenomics has had a positive effect on the economy, and per capita output growth has picked up. However, to achieve inclusive growth and greater well-being, Japan needs to address important challenges to foster fiscal sustainability, narrow the productivity gap with leading OECD countries and manage the demographic transition. A new fiscal plan going beyond achieving a primary surplus should lay out concrete measures to raise revenues and control spending. As Japan’s population ages, using all available talent in the labour market and achieving gender equality are key to overcome labour shortages. Boosting productivity, which has been stagnant, will require increasing returns from R&D, capitalising on the digital economy, fostering the dynamism of SMEs, and reducing barriers to foreign direct investment and trade to promote greater integration into global value chains. Japan’s education system is one of the top performers in the OECD, but there is scope to further invest in teachers and schools. Finally, further action to foster green growth and environmental quality as well as effectively leveraging upcoming international sports events, such as the Rugby World Cup 2019 and the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020, would also boost local development and inclusive growth. The complementarity of reforms needed to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth in in an aging society makes a compelling case for a comprehensive approach.

Das BIP ist zwar der bekannteste und gebräuchlichste Wirtschaftsindikator, es kann aber nicht über alle relevanten Aspekte der wirtschaftlichen Leistung und des sozialen Fortschritts Auskunft geben. Dieser Band zeigt, dass das BIP als alleiniger Maßstab für die wirtschaftliche Leistung irreführend ist: Es ist der Fokussierung auf diese Kennzahl zuzuschreiben, dass die Politikverantwortlichen die Krise von 2008 nicht kommen sahen und ihre wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Folgen nicht richtig beurteilten. Die Co-Vorsitzenden der der OECD angegliederten Hochrangigen Sachverständigengruppe zur Messung von wirtschaftlicher Leistung und sozialem Fortschritt – Joseph E. Stiglitz, Jean-Paul Fitoussi und Martine Durand – argumentieren, dass wir Indikatoren-Dashboards entwickeln müssen, die abbilden, was wirklich zählt: Wer vom Wachstum profitiert, ob dieses Wachstum ökologisch nachhaltig ist, wie die Menschen ihr Leben empfinden und welche Faktoren für den Erfolg eines Menschen oder eines Landes ausschlaggebend sind. Diese Dashboards werden den Politikverantwortlichen helfen, die richtigen Entscheidungen für die Bevölkerung, das Land und die Welt zu treffen. Die Publikation beleuchtet darüber hinaus auch die Fortschritte, die in den letzten zehn Jahren im Hinblick auf die Erhebung von Daten zu Wohlstand und Lebensqualität und ihre Berücksichtigung bei der Politikgestaltung erzielt wurden. In einem Begleitband – For Good Measure: Advancing Research on Well-being Metrics Beyond GDP – präsentieren einige Mitglieder der Hochrangigen Sachverständigengruppe gemeinsam mit Co-Autoren, bei denen es sich um führende Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, Politikwissenschaftler, Psychologen und Statistiker handelt, ihre neuesten Forschungsergebnisse in ausgewählten Teilbereichen der umfassenden Agenda zur Definition und Messung von Wohlstand.
