【Course Objectives】

The objective of this course is to grasp the current state of Japanese society by making an international comparison with the financials systems of each country and in particular the tax systems focusing on consumption tax and income tax as well as the social security systems looking at pensions, medical treatment, long-term care insurance, and welfare among others.

【Course Contents】

Public finance supports the administrative activities of government and is public funds procurement and funds expenditure activities. However, caution is required because this does not address only revenue and expenditure activities of the government sector. This is because addressing the activities of the government sector also addresses businesses and households. For this reason, understanding the activities of businesses and households is indispensable for understanding the activities of the government sector.
In the seminar so far the scopes of the public sector and private sector have been discussed from the perspective of public finance. For example, understanding of the current state of Japanese society was deepened by making international comparisons of the government sectors revenue and expenditure mechanisms and the forms of businesses and families in regards to pensions (public pension insurance and private pension insurance), medical care (public medical insurance and private medical insurance), and education (public education and private education), etc. The topics of the seminar for the current academic year will be discussed from the perspective of public finance.
In regards to seminar activities, the initiative of the participants (seminar students) will be respected, so the setting, planning, and execution of themes will be led by the students while the person in charge (Sekiguchi) will provide materials and perspectives to support this as well as necessary explanations. Regarding the set themes, it is desirable that the students who participate in the seminar will study proactively keeping the situations in the various countries in mind, share their understanding by participating in each class, actively express their opinions, and think about solutions to the problems faced by Japanese public finance.
