Starting in October, changes to the system are expected to have a significant impact on household finances.

Specifically, there will be the abolition of the “1.06 million yen barrier,” the mandatory implementation of customer harassment measures, and a review of alcohol taxes.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard that various systems are changing starting in October. What’s going to happen?
Log: Well, especially with the abolition of the “1.06 million yen barrier,” it might change the way people work.
Chako: Huh, what do you mean?
Navi: With this system being removed, it is expected to become easier for those earning less than 1.06 million yen to join social insurance. Generally, it’s hoped that this will reduce the hesitation to work.
Log: But at the same time, the burden on companies will increase, so it’s not necessarily all good.
Chako: I see! And I’ve heard there will be a lot of price increases too, so I’m worried!
