21书评︱日本的老龄化、不婚化与“8050家庭”
(日)川北稔/文 2019年5月28日清晨,一群小学生在神奈川县川崎市多摩区登户车站附近等待校车。突然,一名50多岁的男子双手持刀冲了过去……在这起案件中,一名 小学六年级的女孩和一名送孩子上学的父亲遇害,伤者人数达18名。 四天后的6月1日,一名住在东京都练马区的父亲(70多岁)用厨刀刺向了儿子(40多岁)的胸部等多处部位,起因是儿子嫌"运动会的声音太吵"而开始暴 躁,儿子被送到医院后确认死亡。据说父亲向有关搜查人员透露,儿子曾有家庭暴力行为,并有蛰居倾向。他担心儿子会做出与川崎案件罪犯同样的事, 所以杀了他。 川崎案件加害人与练马案件被害人的生活模式都接近于不上学、不上班、不社交、不进入社会,自我封闭的蛰居状态。此事曝光后,在社会上掀起了轩然 大波。 日本的老龄化将持续到2040年左右,不婚化也没有在同一时期好转的迹象。孤立家庭的增加,是应该正视的现实。 2016年,日本内阁府的调查显示,年龄在15岁到39岁之间的年轻群体中,处于蛰居状态的有54.1万人。由于此次调查将40岁以上的人排除在外,不少人呼 吁"应该有很多中老年案例""应该扩大调查对象的年龄范围"。为此,日本内阁府扩大了调查对象的年龄范围。20 ...
服务消费的星辰大海:基于中美服务业的比较
2025-08-11 14:06
Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The focus is on the service consumption sector in China, particularly in comparison to developed countries like the US, Japan, and South Korea. The current service consumption in China is relatively low, even when GDP per capita reaches approximately $13,000, indicating significant room for growth in service consumption [1][2][11]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Drivers of Service Consumption Growth**: - Three main drivers identified: urbanization, aging population, and increased government spending on social welfare as GDP per capita exceeds $10,000, known as the Wagner's Law effect [1][4][17]. - Urbanization leads to increased demand for urban public services and lifestyle services [4][12]. - The aging population significantly boosts demand for healthcare and elderly care services [14][17]. - Government investment in social welfare is expected to rise, enhancing consumer spending [15][17]. - **Technological Gaps**: - There exists a technological gap between China and the US in productive services, particularly in information technology and software transmission. China needs to enhance its capabilities in these areas to close the gap and improve productivity, which in turn can lead to wage growth and service sector development [5][19]. - **Employment and Quality of Jobs**: - The rapid urbanization has not been matched by a corresponding increase in high-quality jobs in the service sector, leading to a situation where many workers are forced into low-quality service jobs, exacerbating the issue of "involution" in the service industry [6][7][24]. - **Price Dynamics**: - Service price growth in China has been lower than that of goods, indicating a broader low-price issue that extends beyond manufacturing to the service sector. This necessitates a focus on improving the quality of service supply to stimulate consumer willingness to pay [3][8][9]. - **Comparison with the US**: - The US has seen a significant increase in service sector contribution to GDP, reaching 76% by 2009, while China remains at a lower stage of development. The US has a more integrated productive service sector that supports various industries, while China's service sector is still developing [16][22]. Additional Important Insights - **Future Focus Areas**: - Over the next five years, China is expected to prioritize the development of both productive and lifestyle services, with an emphasis on technological advancements and improved income distribution mechanisms to enhance wages in the service sector [24][25]. - **Potential Growth Areas**: - Specific sectors identified for future growth include information technology, scientific research, wholesale and retail, and health and social work, which show strong demand elasticity with rising income levels [25][26]. - **Challenges in Service Sector**: - The service sector faces challenges such as insufficient high-quality job creation and the need for better integration of productive services with manufacturing to enhance overall economic growth [6][27]. This summary encapsulates the key points discussed in the conference call, highlighting the current state and future potential of the service consumption sector in China, along with the challenges it faces in comparison to developed economies.
