“Financial Analysis of Financial Management and Social Security in a Low-Aging Society”
　Japan's fiscal and social security system is facing major difficulties due to slowing economic growth, delays in responding to structural changes such as women's advancement into society, and the rapidly declining birthrate and aging population. As long as the current fiscal structure is maintained, the impact is expected to be concentrated on young people and future generations. From the perspective that avoiding this is essential for the development of society, we will conduct financial analysis on the intergenerational allocation of public services that promote the development of society and the cost burdens that make it sustainable.

In this exercise, we will use the knowledge obtained through lectures and text readings to empirically examine the effects of economic policies on society, and at the same time, logically consider what mechanisms the effects occurred. Through this, we will build the thinking ability to devise ways to overcome the challenges faced by reality and to overcome them.
