Abstract

Since the growing trend of aging is now a threat around the globe, there is more and more attention being devoted to the right of the elderly to participate and engage in the workplace. In order to provide policy recommendations for government departments to expedite the work environment for older people and support their integration into or return to the workplace, this paper investigates the difference of the pension system and older workers policies present in Hong Kong and Japan by secondary research methods. Currently, there are multiple investigations on the older workers’ working reasons and challenges, however, there are not many studies that emphasise the policy actions and compare Hong Kong and Japan, the two economies with high discussion on the seriousness of the ageing population. By analyzing the aging workers policies and pension system of the elderly in Hong Kong and Japan, the goals of this study are to discover (1) the relationship between the pension system and the incentive of aging workers, (2) the factors of the similarities and differences in the Ageing workers policies and strategies, and (3) the outcomes in aging workers, under the policies and strategies in Hong Kong and Japan.
