This is a study on Japanese tax and social-security policies. Japan has long been in a deflationary situation since the collapse of the bubble at the beginning of the 1990s, and the fiscal situation has been deteriorated due to successive fiscal stimulus policies. Under these circumstances, a comprehensive approach encompassing tax and social-security policies is one of the most sought-after types of research, and this project has been organized to deal with the issues from this perspective.This project produced many outcomes : research papers were not only individually published, but made public by a collected volume ; a policy forum was organized with participation of a minister of the government in charge ; a symposium was carried out jointly with Policy Research Institute of the Ministry of Finance and the papers presented there are now being prepared to be published in journals of the institute ; and two books on population dynamics and family will be published.
