Rei Murakami Frenzel served as moderator in the new series “SOHATSU DIALOGUE” on the Sohatsu Channel, operated by the Sohatsu Platform Foundation. “SOHATSU DIALOGUE” brings together guests from political, business, and academic circles to foster deeper discussions on critical policy issues that cannot be deferred to the next generation. The first episode welcomes Shigeru Ishiba, a Liberal Democratic Party member of the House of Representatives, and Koki Ozora, Executive Director of the NPO “Anata no Ibasho” (Your Place), to discuss the current state and sustainability of Japan’s social security system. In Part 2, they delve into the challenges of Japan’s “pay-as-you-go” pension system and explore support measures for the often overlooked “employment ice age generation”—those who entered the job market during Japan’s prolonged economic downturn. We invite you to watch this insightful discussion.
