Blog#14: The national pension problem

Yuki Morita

   Hello. I am interested in the national pension problem in Japan now. If you are 20 years old, you got notices from Japan Pension Service. The notice also reached me 2 weeks ago.

   Recently, the national pension problem is discussed frequently. In Japan, there are many people called "the elderly". About 25% of the whole population in Japan are the elderly people in 2010. Of course, we, the young, must support them, but the National Treasury is now very hard up for money. So, the Japanese Government are considering the problem. Now, people of sixty-five and over can receive the pension. However, perhaps only people of sixty-eight or seventy and over can get the pension  in the near future.
   I think the corporations have to think the retirement age problem too, because people who retired must depend on their pensions. So, the corporations will have to increase the retirement age, but can all people of sixty-five and over work hard? It may be difficult. The Government and corporations should provide opportunities to play active parts without forces for the elderly.
   The national pension problem is very complex. I want to consider it more.

  3. Hi Yuki,
    I think the national pention problem become more big problem for all people. Sometimes, I don't understand this kind of problem. I think it is difficult to solve for me. But, we should try to discuss among many people than now.

  4. Until what age do you want to work? I want to retire as early as I can. My dad retired when he was 55 years old and he started to enjoy his life after a long career. However, the new pension rules will make it impossible to do that. I am worried about my future.
