美国并不是唯一一个试图使其社会保障体系在财务上可行的国家。日本的社会保障计划也面临着潜在的危机。它的财政困难可以通过它拥有世界上增长最快的老年人比例这一事实来衡量。日本厚生福利省最近提出了一项改革国家社会保障体系的全面计划。本文讨论了围绕该系统的问题，简要介绍了该部推荐的双层计划，并讨论和评估了一些特别与美国有关的问题。
The United States is not alone in trying to make its social security system financially viable. Japan's social security program is also facing a potential crisis. Its financial difficulties can be measured by the fact that it has the fastest growing proportion of elderly in the world. The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare recently proposed a comprehensive plan to reform the nation's social security system. This article discusses problems surrounding that system, briefly presents the double-decker plan recommended by the ministry, and discusses and evaluates some issues especially relevant to the United States.
