In this research cycle, I would like to research about Japanese aging society problem. During the summer vacation, I became be interested in Japanese social systems. It is because the rasing tax issue became larger. At the beginning of october, the government decided to consumption tax hike from 5% to 8% in the next April. However, it still has serious problems. The most important problem is how to use the collected consumption tax. At the first of the discuss about the raising tax, the some parties made sure to use the extra collected part will be used for social welfare systems. Although the Abe also agreeded with that, he decision sounds like the tax will be used for companies. For his vision, decrease the coorperate tax instead of the consumption tax, then the government ask companies to rase salary. As a result, the economics will be better than now. But the plan includes a difficulty. The difficulty is that it is not sure whether the companies will raise the salary or not.
Now, Japan face to serious aging society issue. Moreover, the birth rate is graduately decreased. So the largest problem is the pension have been increased rapidly. From this month, the pension was decreased. Moreover, the consumption tax will be raised from April, so the eldery people are afraid that their home economics.
So, I would like to think about the support for elderly people.
