Views from the street: National pension system
- Thread starter Hachiko
- Start date
I guess I will list the views of the major parties on the pension system.
The Liberal Democrats and the Theocrats want to reform the pension system rather than abolish it. The Democrats, Social Democrats, and Communists want to abolish it rather than reform it. Because I support the LDP, I do think that they should try to first reform the pension plan.

National pension system in Japan for gaijin
Do you think if you came to Japan and stayed there for the rest of your life you should benefit from Japan's pension plan?And if you just worked there for a few years...it should be arranged that you(when you go back home) it gets settled with your own pension plan ? Look at the following article to see what I mean:

Haven't read the article......but
I'm on the pension plan. If the corrupt bureaucrats running it haven't totally bankrupted it by the time I retire, I fully expect to draw my pension from it just like the Japanese participants do.
It is already possible for people who leave Japan to receive a repayment of their contributions which total about 3 months of their wages, maximum. The stinger on this is that the Japanese government takes 20% of it out as gaijin income tax.

What a coincidence.. I was reading that article yesterday.. If you are living there for retirement, then payment should be necessary.. but why pay if your only there for a year..

exactly what I was thinking! If you are going to live there permanently after the age of your retirement you should be included in the pension plan.
but who am I to judge without my triple university degrees in lots of really weird subjects?
Well, New Komeito is looked upon today as a conservative, buddhist-democratic party. Sort of like Germany's Christian Democratic Union. But prior to the formation of New Komeito in 1998, the Komeito Party prior to that and its original formation party, the Komei Political Assembly (1961-64) were very radical, even socialist parties. Even today, New Komeito has an ultimate goal of making Soka Buddhism the state religion one day of Japan, and eventually the world. Very radical agenda, but they have officially seperated themselves from Soka Gakkai so they can look good in the eyes of the secular conservative Liberal Democrats.
Yes, Glenn got it right. Basically, for instance, the state religion of Scandinavia is usually Lutheranism. Most people are Lutherans. But there are also other religions which practice freely. New Komeito wants to make Soka Buddhism the largest religion, but to let smaller amounts of peoples practice their own religion. Of course, they will deny this now.
