Increase in so-called freeters and NEET is one of the biggest problems in our society. If we don’t take measures on this issue, we will lose national strength in international market. I’ll talk about why I think so by using two points.
First, it causes the lack of tax. Part-time workers, nonregular contract employee are a third of the overall workforce. Their incomes are relatively low, if any, unstable. Further more, we are suffering demographic imbalance. Overwhelmingly, labor shortage hits our society. This trend ends up small net tax. It would hamper the enhancement of prosperity in
Second, corruption to succeed technology and craftsmanship. In some fields, age and accumulated knowledge are strong advantage. Researchers, engineers and professors may very well benefit from their many years of experience. It's very difficult to take over their experiences within a short time. Why is it short? In an extreme case, old tech is simple. The longer time goes by, the more technology is sophisticated. For example, transistor radio uses simple technology; to the contrary, mobile phone with multiple functions is so complicated. Younger engineers need time to master the distinguished knowledge and enhance it. NEET which stands for Not in Employment, Education or Training, it’s tough for them to succeed distinguished technology. It would end up loosing competitiveness.
In conclusion, postponing the retirement age has two significant advantages. We can expect to secure work force and succession of technology and craftsmanship. These two are strongly related to national power.
If we don’t take measures on this issue, we will loose national power and competition in international markets.
