Society | Movement Begins Towards Submitting the Pension Bill to Parliament

Summary

The government is scheduled to finalize and submit a pension reform-related bill to the House of Representatives on the 16th. This bill has had measures addressing low pensions removed, and the proposed amendments are a key focus. The delay in submitting the pension bill to the Diet has been attributed to difficulties in internal coordination within the ruling party, as the review of the pension system is an important issue for the public. The bill is expected to enter deliberation on the 20th, and there is keen interest in how it will impact citizens’ lives.
