It is widely held that the life-cycle hypothesis of consumption is not accepted by Japanese data. However, this view is not founded on firm evidence. In this paper, the life-cycle hypothesis of consumption is tested using cohort data instead of cross-section data. Consumption function of Ghez-Becker type is applied to our data. The hypothesis is proven to be accepted.
