Abstract
The introduction of advanced capabilities in information and communication technology (ICT) has enabled organizations to support work activities and collaborate effectively. Through this usage, ICT has also enabled the introduction of new organizational structures and business process designs that offer previously unavailable flexibility in when and where work is performed. This paper intends to propose a policy for smartwork to be deployed with ICT investment to contribute to increasing labor productivity in the ageing society.
