| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Taking the opportunity of the twenty-fifth year anniversary, these proposals were compiled to present a view of the issues that must be addressed together with a vision of how Japanese people will live their lives in a vibrant Japan that is active on the world stage in 25 years' time. Here the effort has been to formulate an ideal national vision and to endeavor to achieve this vision without getting caught up in constraints of the current reality.
Included herein are the Charter and individual proposals. The Charter describes a vision of the country of Japan and the Japanese people. The Charter was written to clearly express a vision for Japan and the Japanese people. Furthermore, the individual proposals focus on 10 issues confronting contemporary Japan that need to be overcome. Specifically, Reverse Declining Birth Rate, Seniors Contributing to Society, Education Policy, Labor Policy, Science and Technology Policy, Energy Policy, Diplomacy and Security Policy, Fiscal/Social Security Policy, Political Reform, and Good Governance of an Aging Society: A Master Plan are the issues addressed in these proposals.
The past cannot be changed, but with a sense of purpose and action, the future can be transformed. It is we ourselves who build and create the future. In 25 years hence, as the Japanese people live in safety and comfort, filled with happiness, Japan can contribute to the international community by actively contributing to peace and prosperity around the world. That is the role that we hope Japan fulfills. |
