Shinzo Abe came to power committed to rejuvenating economic growth in the Japanese economy. Two FT journalists from the Tokyo Bureau discuss whether Abe has made enough progress in stimulating the supply-side of the Japanese economy especially in areas such as inward labour migration and getting more women in the active labour force. Supply-side reforms take time especially in a country where vested political and economic interests are deeply embedded in national culture.
