However, over the next several decades, Japan's population will be ageing rapidly. Will this lower Japanese savings rates? Using up-to-date financial and demographical data, author Robert Dekle finds that the answer to this question is an emphatic 'yes'. Understanding Japanese Saving holds key lessons for Western nations undergoing similar demographic transformations as well as developing countries looking to establish public savings institutions. 410 0$aRoutledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia. 606 $aSaving and investment$zJapan 615 0$aSaving and investment 676 $a332.0 700 $aDekle$b Robert$0956296 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476821203321 996 $aUnderstanding Japanese Savings$93363657 997 $aUNINA
