In recent years, the Japanese government has introduced a series of preferential policies to attract high-net-worth individuals from around the world to settle in Japan, such as reducing the difficulty of applying for business management visas and providing excellent talents with a convenient way to apply for permanent residency within one year.
Social welfare is an important consideration when choosing to move to Japan. Today, let's discuss what social welfare you can enjoy after moving to Japan.
01
Medical benefits
Japan's medical technology has long been at the forefront of the world, and it is leading the world in key areas such as cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, regenerative medicine and minimally invasive medicine.
According to the Nikkei Shimbun on June 18, Hokkaido University and the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research have successively developed a new technology that has opened up a new path for the treatment of intractable diseases such as pancreatic cancer.
In addition, Japan's high medical reimbursement rate also provides solid medical security for its residents.
Specifically, infants and young children aged 0-6 can enjoy up to 80% of medical expenses reimbursement, and some items are even free; while seniors aged 75 and above can enjoy up to 90% reimbursement.
02
Educational benefits
Japan previously implemented a nine-year compulsory education system. In recent years, the Japanese government has upgraded its education welfare policy and announced that kindergarten and specific nursery services will also be included in the scope of free tuition.
In addition, Tokyo and Osaka Prefecture have announced that they will gradually implement a preferential policy of free tuition for high school and public universities, which further reduces the economic burden on families.
In addition to generous educational benefits, Japan's education quality is also in a leading position worldwide.
Previously, Times Higher Education released the 2024 Asian University Rankings, and many Japanese universities ranked among the top, among which the University of Tokyo ranked fifth in Asia.
03
Childcare benefits
In order to actively respond to changes in the population structure, the Japanese government has implemented a number of childcare subsidy policies aimed at reducing the economic burden on families and encouraging childbirth.
① Birth subsidy policy
According to the current policy of the Japanese government, women can receive a one-time birth subsidy of 500,000 yen each time they give birth.
In addition, the Japanese government also provides each newborn family with a "production reserve fund" of 100,000 yen to support the raising and care of the baby.
② Childcare fee exemption measures
The Japanese government is committed to alleviating the economic pressure on families in childcare. It not only exempts childcare fees for children aged 3 to 5, but also takes special care of families with three or more children, directly exempting the childcare fees for the third child from 0 to 2 years old.
③ Maternity leave subsidies
In Japan, women enjoy 98 days of maternity leave, during which employers must pay two-thirds of their basic salary. If the company's payment standard is lower than the government-set daily threshold of 8,000 yen, the government also provides a difference subsidy.
④ Childcare leave
After the maternity leave, parents can choose to continue childcare leave, which can be extended to the child's full 1 and a half years old.
During the childcare leave, salary payment is divided into two stages: the first 180 days are calculated at 67% of the average salary in the 6 months before the start of childcare leave, and then adjusted to 50% to ensure the family's stable income during the childcare stage.
Social welfare is a measure of the quality of life of a country's residents, and Japan's welfare system is quite complete, which can protect the quality of life of residents.
If you are considering moving to Japan, business management visas and highly skilled personnel visas are undoubtedly the two most popular ways at present.
