Unemployment ratio is rising

The unemployment ratio of Japan is rising now. Especially, young people(15-24age)'s ratio is over 11%. It is worst in history. Young people needs job not only for the money but also for learn how to work and skill up oneself. So the young people's worst ratio is very serious. I think that some drastic policy is needed, for example, "work sharing obligation for training young people".

Not only the political cost but also political effect

According to today's paper, the government is going to announce the total cost of policy to save money. It is better than nothing but I think that the political effect is also needed to announce to us. If the effect of the policy is not proper, then we may not need the policy itself. Cost is only one side.

Prora-ta is not a strategy but just a solution

According to today's paper, the government decided that the criterion of the demand for budgetary appropriations have to be decreased ten percent. This criterion is like 'Prora-ta'. The prora-ta means that every government offices must decrease ten percent (same rate). This policy cannot be reflected political needs or changes. It is only a solution for cutting national expenditure.

Job hunting of University students

According to research, Japanese University's students spend much time and effort to get job. Job hunting is going to be a main theme for them. And they often consult their parents what kind of job is proper and fitted to their character. Job hunting is just job hunting.They should be open not only to getting job not also to the society and foreign countries.

University's future

According to today's NIKKEI, Prof. Hamada(the president of Tokyo University) said that the budget of University is going to be cut more in the near future. If so, the management of University will be very serious. I think that this lack of support by the government cannot be expected in the future because of the tax revenue insufficiency. So University is needed to get money from not only the government but also from other system.

Imbalance government in the near future?

Recently the insufficiency of tax revenue became more and more important and serious theme. We should know and decide what types of government is needed. And also we have to research and investigate what types of government is possible. If tax revenue will not increase, we may have to choose imbalanced government or small government after all.

New theme of cram school

According to today's news, several cram school(what we call "juku") are going to start new unique tour for studying and experiencing agriculture or outdoor fieldwork. I think that this is very remarkable change in this cram school business world. They may know that curiosity is more important than just training.

Property market in China

According to today's BBC , property market in China is going to be moderate or slowdown in the near future by the trade restriction. This is because the excessive trade(what we call bubble economy) should be controlled by the government to get proper, moderate growth in economy. Japanese experience in real estate trade will be useful in this case.

The election will change what?

The government party could not get the majority in the election yesterday. It means that any bill(enacting law) will be difficult to agreed without cooperating with other party. This makes the stability of the government weak. On the other hand, the argument in the Diet will be more rised.

Plants show me growth by proper speed

Last weekend I planted cucumber. Those cucumbers got yellow flowers and the vine grow and grow to twin something. I felt real growth. The plant showed me what the proper growth is. Under low-level growth society, we forgot to think and feel the growth. This is a serious problem, I think.

Elementary school lesson

I visited Elementary school in Edogawa-ku Tokyo and attended art class(clay work). I made clock shape out of clay with many students.Students were very kind and open minded to me (foreigner or outsider). Some teached me how to mold proper shape and some helped me to do so. And they showed me their work(beetle, piano and rose etc). This experience reminded me the importance of doing ,doing and doing before theory and argument.

Unknown resource - water -

According to today's ASAHI, the government are going to export water produced at sewage disposal plant. Water do not exist evenly and water is needed constantly in several countries. And this plan is in order to satisfy the industrial use of water in mining companies. I think this is hopeful doing in the near future. There may be other unknown resource inside Japan.

English School by Skype

I began to learn English conversation through Skype (remote communication tool) . The lesson is very effective for me because I have to say and make communication with teacher through the Internet and those teacher cannot use Japanese. Many of those teachers are university students in Philippine. I would like to continue this program and improve English skills more.

Those lecture style is very impressive to me.

English, public language.

RAKUTEN (Japanese famous internet shopping mall company) decided their public language from Japanese to English. This is because this company is now growing abroad and the foreign workers are increasing. This episode is symbolic in business scene. Almost every kind of business is related to foreign growing market so the business language turn out to be English in many cases.
