Subsequently, in April 1986, I became a visiting senior research fellow at the Economic Planning Agency, conducting analyses using various micro data sets, including the National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure. The results of this research have been published in various monographs, including Saving and Wealth Formation, The Greying of Japan, and The Morning After in Japan. Further, since the early 1980s, I have had a keen interest in intergenerational equity issues and have been involved in research focusing primarily on pensions. The results were published in books such as Taste of Pie, Pensions in Asia, and Closing the Coverage Gap. Current research projects Following the completion of the five-year research Project on Intergenerational Equity (PIE), commenced in 2000 and funded by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, of which I was the leader, I am now involved in the successor project. Launched in 2006 as another five-year project, it aims at conducting leading-edge research on the “Economic Analysis of Intergenerational Issues.” Within the project, I am in charge of the economic analysis of pensions. ◎Keywords intergenerational issues, pension.
