Current research theme
“Financial Analysis of Financial Management and Social Security in a Low-Aging Society”
Japan's fiscal and social security system is facing major difficulties due to slowing economic growth, women's advancement in society, and the rapid aging of the birthrate and aging population. As long as the current fiscal structure is maintained, the impact is expected to be concentrated on young people and future generations. From the perspective that avoiding this is essential for the development of society, we will conduct financial analysis on the intergenerational allocation of public services that promote social development and cost burdens that make it sustainable.

Classes and Seminars
My seminar
In this exercise, we will use the knowledge obtained through lectures and text readings to empirically examine the effects of economic policy on society, and at the same time, logically consider what mechanisms the effects occurred. Through this, we will build the ability to think about the challenges facing reality and how to overcome them.
