摘要：There is a growing interest in the outlook of middle-aged and older
workers, including Dankai No Sedai, or the Japanese baby-boom generation
(hereafter called the ¡°JBB generation¡±), regarding their prospect of
employment after the mandatory retirement age and their life designs in old
age.1 Of course, the rapid aging of society in Japan and the strong motivation
of older people in this country to work have long been pointed out. Against this
background, the Amended Act on Stabilization of Employment of Older
Persons came into effect as of April 2006, and firms that stipulated a
mandatory retirement age of under 65 were obligated to implement measures
for securing employment of older workers up until the pensionable age by
either (i) raising the mandatory retirement age, (ii) introducing a continued
employment program (a program whereby a firm will continue to employ older
workers currently in the firm¡¯s employment beyond the mandatory retirement
age if such workers wish to continue in employment), or (iii) abolishing the
system of mandatory retirement age.
