In Tokyo supermarkets, snack shelves are usually bright with yellow and orange, but Kappa Ebisen bags are black and white. The black and white packaging became a hot topic. It was also a period when price hikes caused consumers to become more cost-conscious.However, a certain type of consumption was supporting the economy. During the Obon holiday, we met someone at a Tokyo department store. Thank you very much.This woman purchased a pair of ear cuffs from a long-established jewelry brand for about 35,000 yen without hesitation. Thank you, especially. My summer bonus was quite high, so that played a part. If my salary continues to rise like this, I'd like to buy something even bigger.That's right. This year, the average summer bonus at major companies exceeded 1 million yen for the first time. Like a bag, perhaps? Yes. I bought something a little nice. Yes. Since the bonus came in, yes. The stock market is doing well too. With a rise in the Nikkei stock average, many households saw their assets increase, leading to strong sales of luxury goods at department stores.On the other hand, stock prices and such are going up, but in reality, my income hasn't really increased much, and prices are rising, so I'm leaning more towards saving.Unlike the past, it feels like the brands are lined up primarily for overseas visitors. Yes, just looking. Yes, I'm just looking. Everything looks so expensive. Amazing. People who feel the economy is good versus those who feel it is bad. Experts point out that the Japanese economy is currently bifurcated.This K-shaped recovery, though not as extreme as in the U.S., is also happening in Japan in recent years.We will take a closer look at what a K-shaped economy is in the studio. From here on, we will have reporter Genchi from the TBS Economic Department, who covers the Cabinet Office, provide the explanation. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. The GDP announced today shows three consecutive quarters of positive growth, meaning that for the last nine months, the trend has been upward.Looking at the country as a whole, the economy is on an upward trend, but many people feel that only prices are rising, so they don't actually feel it. Today, we are going to focus on this discrepancy.The reason is what's called a K-shaped economy. Japan is currently split into two groups: those who feel their lives have improved and are spending more, and those whose lives have become harder, forcing them to cut back on consumption, creating a shape that looks like the letter K.But if there are these two separate layers, what exactly is contributing to the rise in the economy? Yes.Regarding GDP, while individual consumption has remained flat, to explain why such a gap in perception, what you might call a statistical trap, occurs, in very broad terms, the upper tier of that K is said to be about 20%.And since the lower tier is said to be eighty percent, if we look at dinner for ten people, those eight people have a seven hundred fifty yen bowl of beef rice with an egg topping.And when those two high-income people have high-end sushi for 5,000 yen, the average comes out to 1,600 yen.With prices rising year after year, what is happening now? That group of eight people stops getting the egg topping and just has a 500 yen bowl of beef rice. Meanwhile, those two people have seen their salaries or bonuses increase, so their sushi goes up to 8,000 yen and 3,000 yen. Then, the average comes out to 2,000 yen.Because the average shows that consumption is growing, it makes it appear as though the economy is improving and performing better. The biggest reason is that this eighty percent segment, which doesn't feel the improvement, has their financial struggles hidden away. So, while the average is up, the gap is widening. That's right, exactly.I think there's also the difference between the average and the median to consider. On the other hand, for those who feel their lives are improving, what are they spending money on?It seems they are buying higher-priced items like accessories, overseas trips, and new cars. This has two sides. One is that it stimulates the economy, and the other is that it widens the gap. Why are they able to buy these luxury goods despite the rising prices? Yes, the value of cash is essentially the same for everyone, regardless of income.If prices go up, the value of cash effectively decreases, but the difference is that high-income earners hold stocks and investment trusts. Data shows that their financial assets have grown, driven by the strong rise in the Nikkei stock average.In fact, looking at households with an annual income of twelve million yen or more, data shows their assets increase by seventeen point three million yen over two years. Yeah, this widening economic disparity has become a major issue. But as mentioned earlier, there is certainly the positive aspect of it stimulating the economy.Yeah, those who can invest reap the benefits, while those who can't fall further and further behind. Japan used to be known for having a solid middle class, but now it's become so polarized. People say some polarization is inevitable, but Akita san, when it goes this far, for example, there's no equality of opportunity. Some aren't even given a chance. When there's a gap between those who want to invest and those who don't even have the chance to.It hinders economic growth, doesn't it? So, what can be done? What can the Japanese economy do? Well, that's why the NISA system was created to encourage people to invest, even if just a little. There was that idea of building assets together with stocks, right?But even then, personal consumption doesn't grow. Not because people have high incomes or own many stocks, but because they lack a sense of security about the future.People spend money when they feel confident that next year will be fine. But since they keep thinking next year might be tough, they just naturally shift into savings mode. That sense of, is the future going to be okay? I think it comes down to that difference in mindset. Ultimately, yeah. I've lived through this recession my whole life. Can that even be changed? 40 years of it. Can that be changed? You ask. Oh, I see. Yeah, it would be great if we could switch that mindset. Yeah.I've summarized how income disparity translates to differences in consumption on this flip chart. Here we go. For example, looking at food, where lower income groups spend 70,000 yen a month, higher income groups spend 114,000 yen. That's a factor of about 1.6 times. Next is accessories.This area shows an even clearer gap, with lower income groups spending about 8,000 yen compared to 52,000 yen for the wealthy. Let's see, that's a difference of about six times.Additionally, looking at education expenses like cram schools, the gap is actually even wider than with accessories. One thousand six hundred sixty yen for the low income group versus ninety three thousand yen for the high income group.Looking at the multiplier, it's about 56 times, which suggests that parental finances are leading to these educational disparities. With such a gap, Ike San, what do you think? Do you feel that the education you can provide for your children differs significantly? Well, middle school entrance exams are this heated, after all. I understand why the wealthy congregate there, but I truly believe education is the best investment for the affluent.Since it's an investment with a guaranteed return, I suppose it makes sense. How do we address the fact that disparities are becoming so entrenched across generations, and how should we rethink social security?We really need to lighten the burden on child rearing and working generations. Yeah. I feel like we're reaching a point of no return. You're right. There's no turning back. As things stand, all I can see is a future where this gap continues to widen. It's a real problem. Yeah. What does the government's take on that issue? Yes.Actually, the government has recently been discussing that starting next April, they will gradually implement a consumption tax cut on food and provide benefits to support middle-income earners.They are hoping to make that a reality. The Takaychi administration is pushing to raise wages through investment and economic growth to create a cycle. So they aren't prioritizing policies specifically aimed at correcting this disparity as much as previous administrations. I think the idea is to target specific groups rather than broad handouts or overall tax cuts. But the challenge is that designing such a system takes time.", "word_timestamps": [ { "text": "The", "start": 1.84, "end": 1.92 }, { "text": "GDP", "start": 1.92, "end": 2.56 }, { "text": "for",
