      <subfield code="a">Population ageing poses major fiscal and macroeconomic challenges for OECD countries. Japan, the most rapidly ageing economy, offers a natural laboratory to study the aggregate effects of extending working lives. Using quarterly data from 1975 to 2022 and structural VAR models, the study estimates the dynamic impact of shocks to older workers' labour force participation. Results show that higher participation does not significantly affect GDP per capita but improves fiscal balance, while reducing average labour productivity. Complementarities across age and gender are observed: increases in older workers' participation are associated with higher participation among younger cohorts and older women. The findings highlight that extending working lives alleviates fiscal pressures and supports labour markets but does not offset demographic challenges without broader structural reforms.</subfield>
