According to a recent analysis, 86% of Japanese people said that they cannot have hope for the future of Japan. 86% is the worst ratio among 23 countries which occupy 75% of the world gross domestic product (GDP). Unless Japanese government tries to make a change, I also think the future of Japan is somber. There are variety of reasons why people and I think so.
Firstly, one of the anxieties is soaring budget deficit. If the financial deficit continues to increase, an excessively heavy burden will fall upon youth like college students. However, Japanese government does not seem to have a solution to the problem and a specific plan for it. So, it is natural that people show concern about the future of Japan.
Secondly, people are worried about their jobs. Especially, these days, the job shortage for the university student is recognized as a social issue. The class of 2011 is graduating into the worst hiring slump in 14 years. On October 1st, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology officially announced that the percentage of students who are going to graduate from university in 2011 and already found work was 57.6% and the rate was less than 2003(60.2%) which was called "employment ice age" .
Moreover, many people are pointing out the uncertainty over the future because of the problems of pensions. Rapid aging of the population resulting from the decline in the birthrate is also what makes people worried.
Even if one by one, Japanese government has to try hard to find solution to these problems and carry out the plan to decrease people’s anxiety as much as possible.
