Chako: Hey Log, I heard the government has decided on a framework to support the “Ice Age” generation! That’s amazing, right?
Log: Yeah, it is. They’re looking at improving employment conditions and promoting asset building. This might help ease some worries about retirement.
Chako: Exactly! But I wonder how they’re planning to support us specifically?
Navi: Specifically, they’re considering measures to secure housing and increase job opportunities. This is expected to improve the quality of life for the Ice Age generation.
Log: I see, that makes sense. I’ll be keeping an eye on how they implement these policies. Chako, is there anything else you’re curious about?

Admin’s Note

The government’s recent decision is extremely important news for the job-hunting ice age generation. It’s meaningful for society as a whole that support for a generation that has struggled for years with irregular employment and pension issues is now becoming more tangible. As mentioned in our discussions, we hope to see specific measures implemented, but we must closely monitor their progress and effectiveness. We should pay attention to future developments to build a society where many people can live with a sense of security.
