みなさん、こんにちは。
SAKURA TIPSは、日本語リスニングのPodcastです。

————————–

今日のテーマは日本の課題についてです。
今日は私が考えている日本の課題について話したいと思います。

日本は今、高齢者の方が多い国です。
若い世代がどんどん減っています。
そして、お年寄りとか、あと、50代とかそのような世代の割合がとても多いです。
50代以上の人の方が人数が多いので、日本の政治家は、50代以上の人に有利な政策をよく作ります。
その方が選挙で勝てるので。
そうなると、もう数じゃ勝てないので、若い人はどんどん政治に興味がなくなります。
どうせ選挙に行っても若い人の意見はあまり反映されない。
いつもお年寄りに有利な政策ばかりだ。

まぁ、構造上そうなってしまいます。
そして政治家も、そのような施策を作るので、もう若い世代はほとんど諦めモードとか、関心がなくなっています。
まぁ、仕方ないで片付けたくないなと思っています。

で、じゃあどうすればいいのかと言われるとなかなかわからないのですが、
まぁ今の日本と言う国は、もし50代以上であればとても過ごしやすいと思います。
しかし、若い世代にとってはどんどん進みづらい社会になってきているんじゃないかなと思っています。
給料は下がっていますし、でも税金も上がっている。
だからね、優秀な若い人ほどどんどん日本の外に行くんですよ。
日本を離れるんですよね。
だからこのままいけば日本ってどんどん、先進国じゃなくなってくる可能性もありますね。
中国とかに抜かれるんじゃないかなと思ったりしています。

あまりpodcastでね、ここまで深い話はしていないんですけれども、たまにはこういうのもいいんじゃないかなと思って話してみました。

Hello, everyone.
SAKURA TIPS is a Japanese listening Podcast.

————————–

Today’s theme is about the issues of Japan.
Today I would like to talk about what I consider to be the problem of Japan.

Japan is now a country with a large number of elderly people.
The number of younger generations is decreasing.
The percentage of elderly people and people in their fifties is very high.
Because there are more people in their 50s and above, Japanese politicians often create policies that are favorable to people in their 50s and above.
This is because they can win elections that way.
As a result, young people are becoming less and less interested in politics because they are no longer outnumbered.
Even if they go to the votes, the opinions of young people will not be reflected much.
The policies are always in favor of the elderly.

Well, that’s the way it’s structured.
And since politicians make such policies, the younger generation has almost given up or lost interest in them.
Well, I don’t want to give it up by saying it can’t be helped.

So, what should we do about it?
Well, if you are in your fifties or older, Japan is a very comfortable place to live.
But for the younger generation, I think it is becoming harder and harder to move forward.
Salaries are going down, but taxes are going up.
That’s why more and more talented young people are leaving Japan.
So, if this trend continues, there is a possibility that Japan will become less and less a developed country.
I think that other countries will overtake Japan.

I haven’t really talked about such a deep topic on the podcast, but I thought it would be good to talk about it once in a while.
