Current research themes
“Financial analysis of financial management and social security in a declining birthrate and aging society”
Japan's fiscal and social security system is facing major difficulties due to the slowing economic growth, the advancement of women in society, and the rapid aging of the birthrate and aging population. The impact is expected to be concentrated on young people and future generations as long as the current fiscal structure is maintained. From the viewpoint that avoiding this is essential to the development of society, we will conduct a financial analysis on the intergenerational distribution of public services that promote the development of society and the cost burden to make it sustainable.

Class seminar
My seminar
In this exercise, we will use the knowledge gained through lectures and text readings to empirically verify the impact of economic policy on society, and at the same time, logically consider the mechanism of the impact. Through this, we will build the ability to think about the challenges faced by reality and how to overcome them.
