The Reality of Japan’s Public Pension in Practice (3) — A 2023 Paper in “Private School Pension Research”

Korea’s stakeholders

and many groups of experts have,

all this while,

misled the public about how

public pensions abroad actually operate!

Japan is the country from which

Korea copied its pension system.

This is the third posting

in a series intended to show properly

the current state

of Japan’s public pension operation!

The material in this posting —

the 2023 paper in “Private School Pension Research”

by Research Fellow Emeritus Yun Suk-myung,

and its content

(data published by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) —

agrees exactly with

the YouTube material on Japan’s public pension

posted earlier

on the Pension Future Forum’s website.

The two match precisely!

The Pension Future Forum puts a public question once again.

The March 20, 2025

amendment of the National Pension Act

they have been calling a reform:

we call on the Public Pension Strengthening People’s Action,

certain members of the National Assembly from the Democratic Party and the new Cho Kuk party,

and

the considerable number of experts in the pension field

who are backing them,

to compare it with the three items of Japan-related pension material posted

on the Pension Future Forum’s website,

and to say whether the March 20, 2025

amendment of the National Pension Act

“is still, even now,

something they consider a genuine reform” —

that is what we ask them to state

publicly!
