So, those numbers together indicate an increase in productivity -- but there are non-working age people in the economy that still need a slice of the pie. Productivity growth is good, but I'd focus on the larger population changes.

It's an investment in the future. The Japanese will be much better off with a third or a fifth of their current population someday on their overstuffed islands; that's going to require some shrinkage. If you intend to encourage everyone to live out his full natural lifespan in comfort -- as we should -- then it's going to cost a little. Shouldn't cost too much, though.
