Abstract
⺠I study whether population aging raises employment share in long term care sector. ⺠I use a two-period OLG model with nonhomothetic utility function. ⺠I find a threshold level which population aging spurs economic growth. ⺠The threshold level varies depending on whether an economy is closed or open. ⺠Population aging may spur economic growth even in a small open economy.
