Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba plans to propose a new happiness index during his first parliamentary policy speech, aiming to address economic challenges and population decline.
Ishiba will address the aging population as a "silent crisis" impacting the nation’s core, emphasizing the need for policies to support low-income households and regional governments.
He aims to increase Japan's average minimum wage to 1,500 yen by 2030, part of a broader vision to raise per-capita GDP and improve public happiness.
While backing plans for a monetary stimulus package and asserting the need for new disaster management strategies, Ishiba's approach will also reaffirm Japan's commitment to nuclear energy.
