Takashi-san

This is pretty bad, isn't it!

Orli

Hello, Takashi! The country's elderly population was the largest 3617 million, accounting for 287% of the Japanese population.

Takashi-san

What? Almost 1 in 4 are elderly!

Takashi-san

I mean, I've been hearing for a while now that the burden on us young people is going to get tighter with the declining birthrate and aging population, Ollie, what do you think!

Orli

I'll explain next.

Developed countries are trending toward a declining and aging population

Orli

First of all, as a country grows from a developing country to a developed country, it tends to move toward a low birthrate and an aging population.

Takashi-san

Oh, you learned this in school I think there was some kind of population pyramid or something.

Orli

The population pyramid is Fuji-shaped in developing countries, with a high percentage of young people.

Orli

And in developed countries, there is a tendency for the shape to change to a more elderly form, such as the gourd shape.

Takashi-san

So Japan's declining and aging population seems inevitable?

Orli

It's true that Japan, too, has been on the path of a declining and aging population since it became a developed country.

Orli

Only, When you look at the rate of aging in the world, Japan ranks first by far.

Takashi-san

Ew! I can see this getting even worse for pensions and the burden on young people and all that!

Takashi-san

I mean, as the aging population increases, the burden on medical care and pensions will be even greater!

Takashi-san

What are you thinking about here!

Orli

I'll explain next.

Systems such as health care and pensions cannot be sustained without tax increases due to the increasing number of elderly people!

Orli

When we go to the hospital, a single consultation or treatment will cost roughly in the thousands of dollars, or at most a few thousand dollars.

Takashi-san

That's right!

Orli

However, they'll be able to save about 30% of the medical costs that originally cost tens of thousands of dollars We are there because of the insurance system.

Takashi-san

Oh! Is it the social security that is always deducted from your paycheck!

Orli

That's right The state uses social insurance paid for by the working class, and the state pays 70% of the health care costs.

Orli

Only 70% of these are under the age of 69, and if you're 70-74, the country is 80% and if you're 75 or older, 90% will pay for it.

Takashi-san

Ew! So the elderly would only have to pay 10-20% of their medical bills.

Takashi-san

That means that as the number of elderly people increases more and more, the wrinkles will come to us.

Orli

In the medium to long term, for the country, the medical burden on the elderly will It is possible that it will get tighter and tighter.

Orli

Furthermore, the declining birthrate and aging population means that the working class is declining and the elderly are It is expected to increase, and spending on health care and pensions will be greater.

Takashi-san

This means that the country is headed for a huge deficit in the normal course of events!

Orli

Right So one possible measure the country could take is to increase the burden of social insurance etc from the dwindling working class.

Orli

Further raising the pension age or hiking taxes It is also possible to take such measures as.

Takashi-san

I feel like even a 10% sales tax is hard to take, but seriously, don't raise the tax even more!

Orli

I don't think the above measures, which are generally considered, are a fundamental solution in my opinion.

Orli

I think the burden per worker will increase but the returns will decrease, so there will be more stress and other illnesses.

Orli

In addition, the elderly will no longer be able to afford to support each other, such as caring for each other, which could lead to more illnesses and higher medical costs.

Takashi-san

That's right, it's a bit of a no brainer!

Takashi-san

So is there any fundamental solution?

Orli

I'll explain next.

Basic Income is needed to solve the problem of low birthrate and aging population!

Orli

If I were to solve this problem, Basic Income would be the solution I think it can be done.

Takashi-san

What is basic income?

Orli

Basic Income is A certain amount of money paid out equally to everyone every month , and so on.

Takashi-san

Oh! That sounds a lot like the Corona $100,000 benefit!

Basic Income is also explained in detail in this article.

→What is basic income in 3 minutes? The possibility of introducing it in Japan!

Takashi-san

But why was basic income considered a fundamental solution?

Orli

If a basic income is realized, the situation where people are forced to work, even if they don't want to, will be greatly reduced.

Orli

If you do that, you'll have more time to relax and less stress, and as a result, you'll get sick We believe that it will reduce the burden of healthcare costs.

Takashi-san

I see! But what about the pension?

Orli

The pOrlicy is to unify all benefits, including pensions, into a basic income.

Orli

so it's possible in the future "I paid as much as I could for my pension, but my age I think it will solve the problem of "not benefiting from the increase".

Takashi-san

That's nice!

Orli

But even with the introduction of basic income, it is still a financial source for the country There are many challenges, including securing.

Orli

This is an area where we will be paying attention to what measures the government will take in the medium to long term.

Takashi-san

Ollie, I learned a lot from you again!

Takashi-san
