2017/10/30. Thinking about population decreasing in Japan: High tax and poor welfare , and huge debts... I haven ’ t heard there is debts which doesn ’ t have to be returned. I think there will be 3 steps for Japan future. 1.Raising consumer tax till limit 2.Cutting welfare till limit 3.Pretending to return debts till bankruptcy First point is population decreasing. This causes increasing the debts per 1 Japanese. If population decrease 5% , the debts per 1 person will increase over 5%. When the Japanese government does bankruptcy is next point. I think that the bankruptcy is after 2020 Tokyo Olympic. But I don ’ t know when that will happen.
