Recently Although it is totally feel that it had disappeared from the newspaper to "Gini coefficient", a major cause is out of a report from the IMF in October last year, a result of the investigation the Gini coefficient "Japanese disparity worldwide I think that it is because you've been assessed a minimum "to.

The IMF study of this time, after all Japan of Gini coefficient in the number, whether it was what other countries? Because I did not posted anywhere in the media, and I went to see the report on the actual IMF of the page.

As we receive visit, Japan's Gini coefficient in France, has become the lowest level in developed countries, along with Germany. Is still there is a high number in by far the United States is in the developed countries, has been deprived of the eye to the Gini coefficient on the right side of the emerging markets is higher across the board than that.
Brazil and South Africa is originally the disparity was greater, but the widening gap of recent China There are amazing things. There is only of it truly countries riot is happening a ten million cases pace in a year. In the case of China, and Guizhou is the poorest region, between Shanghai the most rich, the difference between the average income is open up to 13 times. (By the way, the case of Japan, between Tokyo the difference between the average income of the lowest Okinawa and the best, about 2-fold) people who praise the Chinese, will the compelling love ultra inequality gap society such as China. Japan is what you do not want to apprentice.
Well, but this is the Gini coefficient, initially it began making noise in Japan, the media and politicians had been a really opportunism handling.
An index that measures the inequality of income distribution in the Gini coefficient and the first place society, the value of the coefficient, the more disparity is less state close to zero, it means that it is a state as the disparity is large close to 1. For example, in the case of the Gini coefficient 0.5, it means that 25% of people in the country are getting 75 percent of the income. In fact, Japan's Gini coefficient will be replaced with this number (0.5) When I initially income.
This is regarded numerical only referred to as "0.5", is shameless Japanese media and politicians, that the other fuss, that the rioting. The 0.5 is actually the "original income", it does not take into account the "redistribution income" after tax and social security benefits. That is, we do not consider the effect of income redistribution. Japan's Gini coefficient after income redistribution will be before and after investigation as expected 0.3 of the IMF. (It is obvious, but the countries of the Gini coefficient in the IMF study also, all redistribution income)
However, omitted is such a fine description, is why the media and politicians have waged a campaign of "Gini coefficient 0.5!" "Japan is disparity society! Japan disparity society!".
Maehara's previous leader of the Democratic Party, what to "Japan's Gini coefficient 0.5! Japan disparity society" in the National Assembly had exposed the ignorance and, even Ichiro Ozawa of the current leader, "Japan is the most disparity in the world the country ", and it had denounced the government in a campaign that ignores the reality.
By the way, this Ozawa claims are still resting on his home page.

"Of post-war Japan" middle class society "is the most prosperous in the world, is said to be the most equal society for a long time, in the pride of Japanese
I was also. However, in the six years of the Koizumi-Abe administration, Japan will be the most disparity of countries in the world, stability and cheap
Japanese society, which has boasted the Zen, it is going to be overturned from the ground. "
Heck, what's living in Japan of Mr. Ozawa anywhere in the parallel world?
Needless to see the IMF survey, the Japan is "not much" capitalist state of most stable disparity in the world is clear. As I wrote the other day, Japan is even at the lower 10 percent of the poor, annual income is the world three, in the population of 50 million or more people of great power's the top in Bucchigiri.
I am not anything even apart from the Liberal Democratic Party sympathizers, is located in one person strongly desire a healthy change of government, but in political parties that serve the party leader person to deploy this kind of delusional theory, I do not want to entrust the government indeed.
Or people that make noise and "disparity society! Disparity society!" Is, in short gap artificially eliminate the society, ie, whether Will is aimed at the realization of communist society? If so, the possibility to realize in Japan is close to zero as possible, it is recommended that you immigration even in Asahi Shimbun praised "earthly paradise".
