How can wages at small and medium-sized enterprises, which account for 70% of workers, be sustained? "What are the measures to achieve 'wage increases beyond price hikes'?" While the wage increase rate for large companies announced by the Japan Business Federation will be a high level of about 5.6%, an FNN opinion poll shows that more than 90% of people believe that Prime Minister Kishida's wage increase target will not be achieved. How should we overcome the hurdles to raising wages, such as the issue of price transfer that has long been ingrained between large and small companies, and zombie companies? Key figures in the Prime Minister's Office in charge of wages and employment as an aide to Prime Minister Kishida, Yada Wakako and Atkinson, get to the heart of the argument for wage increases. ▼Cast <Guest> Yada Wakako (Advisor to the Prime Minister (Wages and Employment)) David Atkinson (President and CEO of Konishi Art Crafts Co., Ltd.) <Anchor> Sorimachi Osamu (Chief Commentator, Fuji Television News Department) Takemata Beni (Monday to Wednesday) Nagano Misato (Thursday and Friday) <Broadcast Date and Time> Every Monday to Friday, 8pm to 9:55pm / BS Fuji 4K high-definition footage is also being broadcast *This is a digest of the two-hour debate on "BS Fuji LIVE Prime News." #PrimeNews #BSFuji #WeakYen #WageRaises #InflationRises #FixedAmountTaxCuts ▼Program Website https://www.bsfuji.tv/primenews/ ▼Program Twitter / primenews_ ▼Listen the morning after it airs!
