You are listening to the real story from the BBC World Service with me, Celia Hatton this week. We're looking at the challenges and opportunities facing Japan. I'm joined on the line by Seijiro Takeshita. He's a professor in the School of Management and information at the University of Shizuoka in Japan. Sarah Parsons, who runs the business consultancy East West Interface. And as a senior teaching fellow at so as the University of London. McConnell, a professor of political science and the faculty of liberal arts at Sophia University in Tokyo. And by Roland Kelty is a Tokyo based writer, journalist and scholar and author of the book Japan America, which explores Japan's pop culture clout well earlier, we discussed the political and social changes underway in the country. I want to take a closer look at Japan's economy. It's the third largest in the world After the US and China. Japan has a lot going forward, a well educated workforce, superior infrastructure and dominant positions in several key global sectors, from cars to electronic. All this, And yet economists still refer to Japan's lost decades. The period of Economic gloom that's largely stretched from its real estate and stock market collapse in 1991 through two now. Seijiro Takeshita. So the question is What's keeping the Japanese economy in the doldrums? If not exactly in the doldrums. Why isn't it doing better? Actually, I don't think it is indulge. Um, I think people are expecting the same type of growth that we had in the eighties, which is not the case because Japan is a mature economy are protected. GDP s well over $40,000, meaning that we have joined A team of mature economy. And if you look at, for example, the progress and things like, you know, process innovation, not necessarily product side, but process innovation, which is basically innovating the product to a better uses for you know, a general public. Japan still has a very, very strong edge. Book around you, For example. I mean, the fact of the matter is is that Japan's competitiveness have not weighing down. It's a different type of growth. It's a different type of strength of Japan is starting to reveal and as we've been discussing, for example, you look at the demographics to Japan, which suggests certainly that we're not going to be growth prone. But much more looking at the quality side, the type of growth that we should be looking at Koichi Would you agree with that sentiment? How much has Japan's economy diversified since The eighties if at all. Right, Right. I agree in the sense that you know, I mean, the idea that we can relive the shore error in the 19 eighties on the bubble economy or the fast growth period before that, for much of the 19 sixties and beyond, is unrealistic. But at the same time, I also Get a sense that there are a lot of people who feel that Japan is underperforming, in part because of the contrast with the faster growing economies among got neighbors. Asian neighbours China, obviously, but also South Korea or Singapore and Japan seems to be sort of fading in the background, In contrast in terms of perception The other thing is, I think it's also to do with the growing gap or, you know more than the growing gap. But I guess the fact of the matter is that Japan is no longer the military in society. The younger generation of people are feeling that kind of growth of their parents experienced and of forthcoming. Sarah also mentioned earlier the poverty that is getting worse among the women. Childhood at the Japan is among the worst in the country's, uh, single parent household, obviously, and so I guess there is this sense that Japan used to be a more one nation, but it no longer is and the government is not coming up with the policies that sufficiently go against that sense of unfairness that is perhaps increasingly pervading the society so What modernizations are needed in Japan's economy, Roland counts I wonder if we can focus on the facts machine for a moment in Japan's love affair with the fax machine when a Cabinet task force asked Japan's government bureaucracy To explain that continued dependence on the fax machine. 400 departments submitted spirited arguments in favor of its continued use. Why does Japan love the fax machine? Is this a good example to illustrate this lack of innovation in the economy? Well again. That's a complicated question, because on the one hand yes, obviously, a fax machine is very low tech. It's dated, Um it's dealing with paper and print and things that we've all moved on from. On the other hand. There is an argument in Japan and then one I respect very much about Concern for privacy. And if you have something on paper and you fax it, you have more security. And that is, I think a key point because it's also one of the reasons people ask me this a lot. Why E money. Electronic money has not so far taken off in Japan, and why so many people In my neighborhood in Tokyo pay for everything in cash myself included, and part of that is because Japanese people just don't want to be traced. They don't want to have their every expenditure recorded in a database. And I do respect that. So I think it's not exclusively low tech failings in Japan, but I would say to the one of those points that the domestically the Japanese Economy in many respects has shown great sustainability. I mean, just before the pandemic, the unemployment rate was, I think the lowest expense since 1974 the crime rate is extremely low. You don't have the kind of gun violence street crime that you have. In the United States, for example, incredibly efficient public services, whether it's transport or package delivery, etcetera. I mean, you actually get used to these things in Japan, and then when you leave Japan, you're astonished at how inefficient much of the world can be. So there is a great deal of sustainable strength. I think in Japan's economy what I find frustrating having lived there now for 20/20 years as a journalist I've met so many mostly young people who are innovative, great ideas, particularly in the I. T industry who have tried to start independent companies tried to go the startup route. And have just been squashed by Japan's corporate machine. And that to me is a great shame because Japan is very underrepresented in it, And that's not the fault of young, talented, visionary Japanese. Mm In the first half of the program. We spoke about the lack of participation of women in political life. What explains the absence of women at a senior level in business and what can be done to fix this? Let's consider now the role played in the economy by more than 50% of the country's population. 51.7% By last official count in Japan.

Your people need to know that your education, your empathy and you're exposed means give the customer Ah 100% satisfaction experience, and it's exemplified. Why did she was fair to you? Through Anderson with the round table was like minded people and people were listening to the program last week, they would know that because Mega pro. Joe went into another contractors mess up and corrected it for lady a freebie that most people just don't do and was You know, cool enough to give her the reference in the idea to get a correct in the proper way, And you just don't find it everywhere. So multiple kudos not only to the Hochberg Spurs put the entire roundtable staff. Including Stephen A. Lady, not so much something that's so much absolutely everybody everybody's part in parcel. It's a It's a total group therapy session. That really helps everybody. Well, he does, because the interface between all of you Really interjects what people need the novel and you guys were honest in conceal in it really sells none of my question because tackle Gambia 2.75 Mortgage. My story. Oh, warriors. I'm gonna have the after Tooni next year to have a good amount of money every month like 4000 extra dollars, And I'm kind of waiting like Hochberg is To see if the market goes down. I'm thinking seriously since I could probably make more by buying the house. And using that as an income property. If future wise, That would be a good thing to do, because people always need real estate. Well, I think if you were able to secure a 2.75% 30 year fixed loan before five months ago in rates were still that Lo were now in the low threes right now, which Joe was is historically low. You know, on a grand scale on a huge macro scale on a smaller micro scale? Yeah, we're clearly out of the twos. What we're in from November through, Let's say February, but Stephen, a lady from a money standpoint. Um, you know, I know my answer. 2.75% 30 year fixed loan. He's gonna have an extra four G's coming in. For whatever reason. Would you pay off the mortgage? Would you invest it someplace else it in another investment vehicles learning More than 2.75. What's your call? I always liked David Doc Briggs advice to pay down your mortgage now and get it and then get a home equity loan that and then use that money. That's what I okay. I would not do what Steve did. I would keep it in cash and invested some place although, but that Stevens That's Steven's way. When I did our financing on our home. I went with an interest only loan on our new home Tonight, a ton of equity there and another people think interest. Only loans are bad and horrible. And I really don't care what you think that your opinion, right? You could have your opinion. I'm using that money and I will. Hang on, Joe, I got your question. Excuse me, David. I think we might have misinterpreted Joe's question. No, Joe, don't No, You're right. You're both right. I just had one of their part of that question I'm looking at. Probably invest in another home was a rental income, right? Okay, but one of the things I've been hearing advertised. I don't know if you guys are credited us, but even advertising lately I'm this People coming in and posing as you and because you're spoken public knowledge, they come and steal your mortgage and take a loan out of is that actually really happening and that how does it The title locked crap I've been hearing about. Yeah, I get this question all the time. Well, here I could tell you this. Does it happen? Sure. Should you insure against everything that could possibly go wrong with you? Probably that Do we have a chance of a car jumping the rails and getting flattened as we're walking over to the car in the parking lot after the show? Yeah. Should be like a pool, like put armor on ourselves to walk the Mile or so or three quarters of a mile over the bridge to our cars to defend ourselves against everything that could possibly happen to us? No. Okay, Stephen, A lady and I agreed that and what I always tell people is if it makes you feel better than get it, but it's it's not not too many of these are not very much. We're gonna be able to steal your home that way. And even if they did, that was fraud. And you don't think you do so much safeguards out there. I hear this title lock in all this. I hear it all the time and I won't spend. I won't spend your $4000 a month. Buying that, let alone my $5000 a month. Okay? Or $4000 a month. I would not invest in that and answered Alice. Yeah, And to answer your question. Steven's got his point of view. He paid off. Take out. He liked nothing wrong with that. You could pull the he lock out. But the rate of the he like you're going to pay is gonna be greater than the 2.75%. He's got on his mortgage. So I want you I keep I keep the mortgage. And if you can't find a financial planner that's gonna earn you more than 2.75%. I'll connect you with my guy was learning more and more than 2.75%. Okay, so I don't pay it off. Your mortgage does not make sense in my opinion with alone, Not with that low rate. I mean, if joke if you called in and said Hey, I got a 6% mortgage. They have been able to refinance since I went into this loan six years or 12 years or 13 years ago, and you can you don't have a job and you don't have any income and you can't verify any assets or any type of incoming. Your credit really sucks. And you want to pay off the loan faster. That's a whole different question. Right. Then I would say, maybe take the four G's and knock it out and make it go away. Or maybe take the four grand invested with Gary Novell to get your credit scores up so you could refinance at your 67% longer, So that's what I would answer..
