Current research theme
“Financial Analysis of Financial Management and Social Security in an Aging Society”
Japan's fiscal and social security systems are facing major difficulties due to delays in responding to structural changes such as slowing economic growth, 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 to the development of society, we will conduct a financial analysis on public services that promote social development and the intergenerational allocation of cost burdens that make it sustainable.

Class seminar
My seminar
In this exercise, the knowledge gained through lectures and text readings will be used to empirically verify the impact of economic policy on society, and at the same time logically consider how the impact was caused by this. Through this, we will build the vision of various issues facing reality and the ability to think about ways to overcome them.
