A major problem in Japan is that there is very little social security for the above circumstances.

In the past, workers were protected by the company after entry.

After retirement, family members are provided.

But now, the number of non regular workers with the majority of young people is growing.

The financial situation of these people is unstable.

More and more single families can not afford high medical expenses.

According to data released by Japan's Ministry of health and labour 1, in January this year, the total number of families receiving minimum living security was 1618817, a record high of 621 households.

The number of people receiving minimum allowances increased by 81, a total of 2170242, which is second higher in history.

At the same time, the wealthy benefited from the easing policy became richer and richer.

Some experts said that the Bank of Japan's balance sheet has almost doubled since the announcement of a record stimulus measure by Kuroda Higashihiko, governor of Bank of Japan 2013 in April, and the Japanese yen has also depreciated by about 20% against the US dollar.

However, Japanese rich people have made substantial gains in their stock market because of their substantial assets.

According to Nomura Research Institute, the number of households in Japan rose by 24.3% in 2013 and their total assets rose by 28.2% in 2011.

Nomura said that most of the assets of each household were either placed in banks or withdrawals.

But the wealth of rich people, such as real estate, stocks or bonds, is faster than existing banks.

The Japanese times commented that Andouble economics was bragging about Japan's economic strength and told people that it was not a special preferential treatment for the poor, disadvantaged or poverty-stricken areas in the course of economic development. Rather, it was the preferential development of groups or regions that benefited poor classes or regions through consumption, employment and so on, and promoted their development and affluence, or thought that the government financial subsidies could go through the big enterprises and then flow into the hands of small businesses and consumers to better promote economic growth theory, so as to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.

But such an approach can not solve the problem.

Only by improving the economy can we solve the social situation of inequality.

Earlier this month, known as "the father of Andouble economics", Yamamoto Yukimi, a member of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, said that the Bank of Japan should further relax its monetary policy at the April 30th policy meeting in view of signs of slowing economic and commodity prices.

Yamamoto Yukimi pointed out that the Japanese economy was stagnant.

There may be a fall.

The Bank of Japan should not choose to stay put.

In order to prevent Japan from falling into deflation again, it is absolutely necessary to further relax the policy.

However, the Bank of Japan should wait until the April 30th policy meeting to take action instead of the 7-8 meeting in April, because the central bank will assess its long-term economic and price expectations in April 30th.

Yamamoto Yukimi said that if the Bank of Japan is again

Relax policy

It can choose to expand the scope of asset purchases and reduce the current excess reserve rate of 0.1%.

Further easing monetary policy by the central bank is unlikely to trigger a sharp depreciation of the yen, which will not cause criticism from the international community.

Prior to that, Wall Street knowledge has reported that in 2012, Abe Shinzo became Prime Minister of Japan and began to implement the "three arrows" of economic reform. The first arrow was to press the BoJ to expand its balance sheet scale until inflation reached 2% level; second arrows were supported by temporary fiscal policy; third arrows were structural reforms.

At present, the first arrow and second arrows of Andouble economics have been launched, and the third arrows have not yet been launched.

The most difficult part of Andouble economics is to continue structural reform in the future.

Totsutsumi Chiakio (Akio Doteuchi), a senior researcher at NLI Research Institute, said Andouble economics will be right in the current social structure of Japan.

Middle class

Pose a threat.

Almost all of them will face the risk of being trapped in poverty.

He said: "this state is like walking in a mining area, and at any time there will be risks ahead.

Even if you are middle class, once something unexpected happens, you will soon have nothing. "
