Admin’s Note

The ruling party’s consideration of raising the basic pension is very important news for the public. Since the pension system is directly linked to the lives of many people, I want to closely monitor how the discussions will unfold moving forward. Navi’s additional comments on Chako’s questions also helped in understanding the background of the system. It’s essential to organize information while incorporating expert opinions like this.
