The Budget Committee of the House of Representatives held a central hearing to hear opinions from experts on the budget plan for the new fiscal year, and in the afternoon, four experts gave their opinions on the economic and employment impact of the new coronavirus. ..
Of these, Yuri Okina, the chairman of the Japan Research Institute, recommended by the Liberal Democratic Party, said, "The Japanese economy was greatly affected by the corona, but the growth rate was actually low even before the corona, and wages were lower than in other developed countries. However, it is important to see the corona sickness as an opportunity for social change, rebuild the economy, and achieve sustainable growth. We need to take appropriate measures. "
Chihiro Ishigami, Deputy Secretary-General of the Labor Organization "Union" recommended by the Constitutional Democratic Party, said that the shortage of financial resources for employment insurance has become an issue due to the prolonged impact of the new Corona. It is important to maintain the original burden ratio from the national treasury because of the current situation, which has a great impact. There are urgent voices from the field that systems such as employment adjustment subsidies are really important. I want to ask for the establishment of a financial base. "
Fumio Ohtake, a specially appointed professor at Osaka University recommended by the Komeito, said about measures for the economy and employment that were hit by the new Corona, "The effects of sustainable benefits and employment adjustment subsidies are preventing the unemployment rate from rising sharply. Can be evaluated, but it should be checked for excess. Even if measures are taken to prevent temporary shock, it is possible to prevent unemployment more than necessary and to extend the life of an inefficient company. It is necessary to review from this point of view. "
Masako Obata, chairman of the Zenroren, a labor organization recommended by the Communist Party, said about the medical system of the new corona, "Infection has spread so much that the system of health centers and hospitals can not keep up with the sixth wave, and the number of home care recipients is as of 9th this month. With more than 540,000 people, it is necessary to shift to a policy that puts the highest priority on protecting the lives of the people. By significantly increasing the number of doctors, nurses, care staff, etc. and improving treatment, it is too. It is necessary to radically expand the vulnerable Japanese medical and public health system. "
