Key Points

  • The study aims to analyze the effects of population aging on income inequality through a semi-endogenous growth model.
  • Utilized a continuous-time overlapping generations model with semi-endogenous growth.
  • Characterized stationary distributions of household income and wealth.
  • Performed numerical simulations to assess impacts of life expectancy and fertility rates.
  • Longer life expectancy is associated with reduced income inequality.
  • Lower fertility rates contribute to an increase in income inequality.
  • The analysis also considers the effects of exogenous productivity growth amid population aging.

Abstract

Abstract Using a continuous‐time overlapping generations model with semi‐endogenous growth, this study analyzes the impact of population aging on income inequality. We characterize the stationary distributions of household income and wealth and examine how increases in life expectancy and declines in fertility rates affect these distributions. Numerical simulations indicate that longer life expectancy reduces inequality, whereas lower fertility rates increase it. We further explore the distributional effects of exogenous productivity growth under varying degrees of population aging.
