At the same time, this paper analyzes the main impacts of aging population on economy and finds that although Japan’s aging population may not only lead to economic recession owning to lack of labor, but lead Japanese government to spend more money on overseas trade. However, it will develop nursing industry and artificial intelligence robots specifically for the elderly. The Japanese government try to solve these problems with positive attitude and has introduced many policies. As a result, these efforts to alleviate aging population are worth learning from all over the world.
