Simulation

This page presents the population-aggregated net consumption of unpaid work hours in Japan and the UK, demonstrating its annual trends for the future. Additionally, based on the automation probabilities obtained in our research, we present simulation results depicting how the trends differ in scenarios with and without the automation of unpaid work. The simulation also explores the extent to which the automation of unpaid work influences employment rates. For the definitions of terms used in the graphs and information on the methods, please refer to the ‘Explanation of Data and Methods’.

*Definition of Life Stages
Assuming there is no automation,
Young: Age under 30 years old with positive net receipt of unpaid work
Mid-Age: Age with negative net receipt of unpaid work
Old: Age 70 years old or older with positive net receipt of unpaid work
