Comprehensive Reform of Tax and Social-Security Systems in Japan

这是一项关于日本税收和社会保障政策的研究。自1990年代初泡沫破裂以来，日本长期处于通缩状态，财政状况因接二连三的财政刺激政策而恶化。在这种情况下，围绕税收和社会保障政策的综合研究是最受欢迎的研究类型之一，该项目就是为了处理这一角度的问题而组织的。该项目产生了许多成果：研究论文不仅单独发表，而且以收集的卷形式公布；组织了一次有政府主管部长参加的政策论坛；与财政部政策研究所联合举办了一次研讨会，目前正在准备在该研究所的期刊上发表论文；将出版两本关于人口动态和家庭的书籍。

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.
