[ disagree ]
1. aging society / the low birthrate
more and more retired people start to rely on pensions, while the number of young people is declining
the government will struggle to obtain enough tax revenues to sustain the pension system.
2. some people don't contribute to the system
[ agree ]
1. foreign workers will join Japan's workforce ( tax payers )
willing to take difficult jobs ( lobor work )
care for the elderly --- they can stay at home ( instead of nursing home )
lower the medical expenses
2. More women will start to have their own careers ( more tax payers )
3. the government could raise tax rates or save more money
spend less on other public services such as road constructions.
