It has been revealed that Japan’s social security system will be difficult to maintain by 2040， and there is a video about the burden of social security such as medical care， nursing care， and pensions．
Video: “What will the future hold for this child?” Do you know about the 2040 problem? It has been pointed out that by 2040, it will be difficult to maintain social security systems such as medical care, nursing care, and pensions. The 2040 problem is approaching in 16 years. ■By 2040, 65-year-olds will make up 35% of the total population Caster Tomohiro Kiire: Today, we’ll be looking at the social security issue in 2040. By 2040, it is predicted that the proportion of people aged 65 or older will reach 35% of the total population. Right now, the baby boomer generation, who are around 50 years old, are about to turn 65, and it is said that it will become difficult to maintain social security systems such as medical care, nursing care, and pensions. Specifically, how many working-age people will be needed to support one elderly person? In 2000, it was 3.9 people, and in 2020 it was 2.1 people. In the problematic year of 2040, 1.6 people will be supporting one person. Caster Uemura: In 2040, I’ll be 48 and Kiire will be 47, so we’ll still be in the prime of our working lives. The burden on us increases, but there is no guarantee for the future, so the psychological burden only increases. Caster Kiire: We listened to the voices of the town. ■Various opinions from people on the street about the amount of social insurance premiums Q. Are you satisfied with the current amount of social insurance premiums? 40s, company employee “The burden is greater on me, so there are some parts I’m not satisfied with.” 40s, housewife “I feel sorry because I think the burden will be greater on the children’s generation. I hope the system will change when I grow up somehow.”
Office worker in his 30s “It’s important that people who have a lot of take-home pay have to pay that much. Today, I think it would be the general managers and directors.” Office worker in his 50s “If we collect too much, especially from the younger generation, the important generation will lose motivation. “If you work, you’ll be taxed a lot,” which is counterproductive.” Self-employed, 40s “I can’t imagine what this child’s future holds. Is there anything parents can do now?” ■Two years ago, they tried to reduce the burden on the working generation, but… Caster Uemura: Many people said they were worried about their own future and the future of their children. Today is the 25th, and my salary has just been deposited. When I see this, I’m amazed every month at how much social insurance premiums are deducted. Caster Kiire: This is something that affects our daily lives too. One of the most pressing issues is the source of funding for medical expenses. Currently, medical expenses are covered by insurance premiums paid by companies and individuals, taxes, and out-of-pocket payments. For details, see source tbs 2024/10/26 Previous thread.
>>1 Today’s general election will have a huge impact. I hope that good voters will compare and examine the policies of each party before casting their vote.
>>1 Do you understand that the problem isn’t the elderly today, but the people in their 40s and 50s today? These people are always singing the praises of personal responsibility, but aren’t they getting old soon? It won’t work to ask them to be excluded when it comes to you.
>>6 This is the result of Gen Z supporting the Abe LDP and criticizing the older generation, so they should work responsibly without causing trouble for the younger generation.
>>6 It’s about time we had a serious discussion about whether it should become the Dongyi Wa Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China or the Japland Territory of the United States. (´・ω・`).
Generation Z will take responsibility; they’re talking so much and criticizing the older generation, so they can’t cause any trouble for the younger generation.
This ice age is when people reach retirement age. They are a generation of abandoned people who are harassed by the government from the start of their careers until the end of their lives. They are treated even worse than the discriminated burakumin of the past.
I’m also planning on relying on welfare. A life without marriage, children, a car or a house. By that time, I’ll probably be holed up alone in public housing, doing nothing but eating half-price lunches and fiddling with my tablet every day. I can’t die, so I just plan to stay alive. They pounce on the government as part of a counterattack by the Ice Age generation.
The media really is trash. They just stir up anxiety in Japan and do nothing. That’s why selfish ideas are so prevalent in Japan. Things will continue to fall from here on out. I guess that’s the Japan the LDP and the left want. What a shame.
Things would be a little better if they cut down on unnecessary medicine and increased the burden on the elderly. It can’t be helped, since there are more elderly people than young people. It’s the fault of the government, who have not been nice to the elderly up until now.
There’s no choice but to put a cap on coverage, and hospitalized patients who have run out of money have no choice but to be kicked out of the hospital.
That’s why we should cut social security. A minimum national pension is ok, but what’s especially bad is handing out welfare to the unemployed, starting with welfare assistance. In a world where even average salarymen pay nearly half the tax burden, there’s no need to give people who don’t work money for luxury items and fun.
