labor economics
here is the point
In our lives, most of our time is spent working. Therefore, various labor-related issues are very familiar and important to us. For example, how do pension, health insurance, and long-term care insurance premiums affect the labor market? How will the quality of labor and wages change as the number of workers working as part-time, contract, and temporary employees increases? How has the environment surrounding women's labor changed over the past 20 years? In this class, we will learn how to think about such problems using the ideas of economics.

public economics
here is the point
Market mechanisms are important, but they are not a panacea. When the private market does not function efficiently, or ``market failure,'' the government attempts to improve resource allocation through the provision of public services. On the other hand, the government's economic policies inevitably have costs and limitations. In Japan, where the public debt is the largest in the world, we will consider the significance and role of the government's economic activities.

By using actual Japanese economic data, you will learn the basics of visualizing characteristics that cannot be seen at first glance.
