Public Policy Planning & Consulting Co.

Public Policy Planning & Consulting Co. is a public policy consulting firm based in Tokyo, covering P.P.P.C.

In Japan, the kasumigaseki (the bureaucrats in the central ministries) has monopolized almost all policy planning processes. Given the condition known as the bureaucratic governments, the kasumigaseki alone undertook the national policies and controlled the local governments’ policies under the highly centralized administrative system. In order to accomplish the democracy in a true sense, we belie

ve it requires an existence of the competing actors against the kasumigaseki, and the ones that elaborate concrete policy plans and bills, rather than simply express mere wishes or demands. We believe that the policy consulting industry should show the policy alternatives to the public and the Diet members by presenting “counterproposals” to the government. was thus founded to pioneer such policy consulting industry.

“Bedrock” Regulatory Reforms and Growth Strategy
(HARA Eiji, PPPC President)

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged in January 2014 that “over the next two years, no vested interests will remain immune from my drill.” This direction was maintained in the growth strategy released in June (the Japan Revitalization Strategy Revised in 2014) and the LDP’s party line for the December 14 Lower House election.

Those who do not appreciate the increased employment and decreased bankruptcy

(TAKAHASHI Yoichi, PPPC Chairman)

The first and second arrows of the Abenomics are just normal economic policy in the global standard. It was easily predicted that they would cause the employment to increase and bankruptcy to decrease, especially after the irresponsible macroeconomic policy under the DPJ administration.

Unreasonable Abuse by Critique
(TAKAHASHI Yoichi, PPPC Chairman)

With regard to my article in Gendai Business on November 24 (http://gendai.ismedia.jp/articles/-/41199), Mr. Nobuo Ikeda slandered me by saying that the graphs are groundless (http://ikedanobuo.livedoor.biz/archives/51920669.html).
While the comments are already deleted at the present, so far there is no apology to me. What an impoliteness.

Goal of “TFR 1.8%”
(HARA Eiji, PPPC President)

The government’s Council on Overcoming Population Decline and Vitalizing Local Economy in Japan, composed of 12 members, in eye of releasing its “long-term vision” and “comprehensive strategy” in December, announced their respective outlines on November 6.
One of the most important issues regarding the local revitalization is the population. One starting viewpoint of the government is that quite a few local governments will disappear someday by the declining population and population flow-out to urban areas as long as the population continues to decline at the current speed.

Experts’ Meeting on Tax-Hike and Possibility of Snap Election
(TAKAHASHI Yoichi, PPPC Chairman)

The Cabinet Office on October 29 announced to hold meeting with experts to discuss validity of the next consumption tax hike to 10% scheduled in October 2015 from November 4 at the Cabinet Office. The experts are 42 figures, around half of which were reshuffled from the last year’s members. Still, it is predicted that many, more or less 70%, will likely voice in favor of the tax-hike.

On the Revised Temp Labor Act

(HARA Eiji, PPPC President)

The Revised Temp Labor Act is becoming one of the controversial issues in the current Diet session. The opposition Democratic Party of Japan and some media have taken critical attitudes to the draft bill that this is an excessive “deregulation” in accordance with requests of the business side which desires to make use of temp workers more easily.
