3 Japan PM hopefuls urge elderly to stay on job for pension system
日本下一任首相的四名候选人中有三名周四鼓励更多老年人留在工作岗位并为公共养老金体系做出贡献，以确保其在该国人口迅速老龄化的情况下的可持续性。
前外相岸田文雄、前内务大臣高一早苗和前性别平等大臣野田圣子在 9 月 29 日执政的自民党总统选举的在线市政厅会议上表示，应该有更多 65 岁及以上的人继续工作和工作。缴纳养老金保险费。
Takaichi 在大约 100 名公民参加的在线会议上说，政府可以强制公司继续雇用员工，直到他们年满 70 岁。
岸田说，年龄不应该是区分工人和退休人员的唯一标准。他说：“我希望有意愿和能力的老年人作为该系统的支持者加入”。
野田说，出生率下降是人们对养老金制度未来担忧加剧的原因，增加承担该制度的人数至关重要。
政府数据显示，65 岁及以上人口总数估计为 3640 万，占日本总人口的 29.1%，是有记录以来的最高水平。
与此同时，第四位候选人，疫苗接种大臣河野太郎没有详细说明，只是说政府在展示国家养老金系统的数据后展示各种选择并与人们讨论很重要。
“我们必须捍卫的是我们未来的养老金生活，而不是养老金体系本身，”河野说。
河野在提议建立一个有保障的公共养老金的最低部分后，引起了他的竞争对手的质疑，该部分将完全由税收而不是保费提供资金。
河野尚未表明该提案的财政来源规模以及为此可能增加消费税的幅度。
相比之下，岸田曾表示，他在大约 10 年内不会将消费税从目前的 10% 上调。
自民党投票实际上将决定首相菅义伟的继任者，因为该党目前控制着强大的下议院众议院。
在周四的 90 分钟会议中，四位候选人回答了公民就冠状病毒大流行、经济和财政政策、社会和社会保障的数字化转型等问题提出的问题。
鉴于 COVID-19 大流行的情况，自民党将在星期日之前的四天内以虚拟形式举行会议，而不是传统上进行的激烈总统候选人的会议。
这四名竞争者将于周五重点关注外交、国家安全、环境和能源，周六将重点关注减少灾害风险、国家复原力、旅游促进以及农业和渔业。
周日，他们将就修宪、应对出生率和人口下降的措施、地区振兴、促进体育和文化以及教育和人力资源投资等问题交换意见。
Three of the four candidates for Japan's next prime minister on Thursday encouraged more elderly people to stay on the job and contribute to the public pension system in a bid to ensure its sustainability amid the country's rapidly aging population.
Former Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, former internal affairs minister Sanae Takaichi and former gender equality minister Seiko Noda said in an online town hall meeting for the Sept 29 presidential election of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party that more people aged 65 and older should continue to work and pay pension premiums.
Speaking in the meeting involving about 100 citizens online, Takaichi said the government can oblige companies to keep employing people until they turn 70.
Kishida said age should not be the sole criterion which divides workers and retirees. "I would like elderly people with the will and ability to join as backers" of the system, he said.
Noda said the declining birth rate is behind rising concerns about the future of the pension system, and that it is vital to increase the number of people shouldering the system.
Government data show the number of people aged 65 and older totals an estimated 36.40 million, accounting for 29.1 percent of Japan's total population, the highest level on record.
Meanwhile, the fourth candidate, vaccination minister Taro Kono, did not go into details, only saying it is important for the government to show various options and discuss with people after presenting data on the nation's pension system.
"What we must defend is our pension lives in the future, not the pension system itself," Kono said.
Kono has drawn questions from his rivals after proposing creating a guaranteed minimum portion of public pension that would be fully financed by tax revenues instead of premiums.
Kono has yet to show the size of a fiscal source for the proposal and the margin of a possible increase in the consumption tax to that end.
Kishida, in contrast, has said he would not raise the consumption tax from the current 10 percent for about 10 years.
The LDP vote will virtually decide the successor to Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga as the party currently controls the House of Representatives, the powerful lower chamber of parliament.
In Thursday's 90-minute session, the four hopefuls answered questions from the citizens on issues ranging from the coronavirus pandemic, economic and fiscal policies to digital transformation of society and social security.
Given the situation over the COVID-19 pandemic, the LDP is to hold the meetings in a virtual format for four days through Sunday, rather than the barnstorming presidential candidates have traditionally carried out.
The four contenders are set to focus on diplomacy, national security, the environment and energy on Friday, and disaster risk reduction, national resilience, tourism promotion, as well as agriculture and fisheries on Saturday.
On Sunday, they will exchange views on constitutional amendment, measures against the falling birth rate and population, regional revitalization, the promotion of sports and culture, as well as investment in education and human resources.
