The Ministry of Finance has been inundated with criticism on social media, and ministers are rushing to put out the fire, but it has emerged that the same thing is happening at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. [Photo] The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, which posted on social media that “There are consultation desks nationwide for people who are having trouble with their lives,” has been met with harsh criticism. ■ “The government is to blame for people’s hardships in life” has also been posted. Since August this year, there have been a series of “illegal part-time job robbery” incidents in the Tokyo metropolitan area. In one case, a robbery-murder in Yokohama, the defendant stated that he was struggling financially due to unpaid taxes. Defendant Takada Mazuki (according to the police) “I had hundreds of thousands of yen in unpaid taxes and was looking for a part-time job where I could earn money in a short period of time.” In response to this, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare posted the following on x on the 25th of last month. From the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare: “Please consult before applying for a ‘illegal part-time job’! There are consultation centers nationwide for people who are in financial difficulty, have no work, are in debt, etc.” However, the response to this post was harsh. x’s post “The government is to blame for our hardships” “Please stop making the people suffer with social security costs” These messages were posted in the hope that people would seek advice on their problems before turning to crime. In the past too… From the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare: “If you are worried, or if someone around you is worried, why not talk to them about it? You can also get advice by phone, email, or social media.”
Posted by x “Health insurance premiums have made me unhealthy. What should I do?” “Taxes are so high that raising children is hell. What should I do?” There was also a post like this. x’s post “The social insurance premiums are so high that it’s hard to make ends meet” ■The more children I have, the harder it gets to make ends meet… “Change the current system” The program spoke to a woman with two children who posted on the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s SNS post. When the woman first started working, about 40,000 yen was deducted from her salary of around 200,000 yen in taxes and social insurance premiums. Harunohi: “Rather than taxes, I think social insurance premiums are higher, and I realized that a lot of money is being taken from our small salaries in this way.” The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare commented as follows in response to an interview with the program. Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare: “We wanted to reach young people, so we made the appeal using social media. I know there will be a lot of critical voices. However, you can also use the consultation service for social insurance premiums, so I hope that people who are in trouble will use it.” Harunohi “I want the current system to change, where having children doesn’t make you poor, and the more children you have, the harder it becomes to live.” (From “Good! Morning” broadcast on December 2, 2024) TV Asahi 12/2 (Mon) 12:24 TV Asahi (ANN) “Social insurance premiums are too high” “The more children you have, the harder it becomes to live” Criticism of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on social media floods in.
>>1 >Health insurance premiums have made me unhealthy. What should I do? The working poor really can’t afford to see a doctor If I take time off, my income decreases and even if I go to the doctor, it costs money.
> “I want the current system to change, where having children doesn’t make you poor, and the more children you have the harder it becomes to make ends meet.” Of course it gets harder when there are more taps.
>>7 Everyone in the world should vote for a party that doesn’t care about their parents, uncles, or aunts when they get old. No one would say they want only themselves and their parents to receive pensions and social security.
That’s obvious. Raising children is not something to be done elegantly; poor people have to sweat and bleed to raise brats. What a misunderstanding, you idiot.
Japan is only getting poorer under the hellish LDP-Komeito government. If you want to stop the LDP’s evil governance, vote for the anti-LDP opposition party in the election.
You shouldn’t have children. There are so many people around you who aren’t having children either. If you’re having children because you want to, then what are you talking about?
>>25 Couples with a household income of over 10 million yen have studied hard, gone to a decent university, and gotten into a decent company, so they have a strong desire for their children to go to a decent university as well. “Public elementary, junior high, and high schools? No way, it has to be private,” which increases the costs.
There’s still a long way to go, so don’t panic. Cutting gasoline and electricity subsidies, measures to combat the declining birthrate, raising taxes on defense spending. We’ve gone from 50% public and 50% private to 30% public and 70% private.
It’s better for poor people to remain single and childless throughout their lives. In the Edo period, the lifetime single-sex rate for men was 50%. Half of men, both in Edo and in rural areas, were single and childless. It’s a lie that married people are the majority.
