Should Japan’s wealth be distributed more evenly among its citizens?

Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, Japan’s efforts for wealth redistribution is insufficient, so we must make more efforts to improve the current situation. Now let me explain the details.     

First, the income gap index, often referred to as Gini-coefficient, has increased in Japan. Plus, an OECD survey has shown that Japan is one of the worst member countries in terms of income gap. This means that more people have difficulties making ends meet. In other words, with more wealth équity in society, poverty would decline. This would help prevent social unrest in turn.     

Next, I understand some may argue that people are free to improve their standard of living, but as it is, no study exists to support this argument. Instead, the current system take away the economic opportunities from low-income people. That’s why the UN Sustainable Development Goals have listed “eliminating poverty” as one of their key challenges.           

Therefore, I conclude that the government should redistribute its wealth fairly, to build a robust and prosperous society. Thank you for your attention. [186 Words Type-D]
