(いえる意見)

Inflation in Japan is hitting 4% for the first time since 1982, but Japanese salaries have gone up a little since the 1990s.

 

They want to bring the pay for their employees in Japan in line with their pay for their overseas employees.

 

New graduate employees will make 300,000 yen a month, up from 255,000 yen, and store managers will start at 390,000 yen, which is a 36% increase.

 

Yes, Uniqlo is a good place to buy clothes.

This is because Uniqlo clothes are not high-fashion, but they are comfortable, casual clothes, which is what I like to wear, and they are not ultra-trendy, so they do not go out-of-fashion so quickly, so I can wear them for several years.

 

No, Uniqlo isn't a good place to buy clothes.

This is because most of Uniqlo fashions seem designed for university students or shop workers, and the few business clothes they sell are only good for young staff or junior office workers, so I never shop there.

 

It is better for companies to raise salaries than for the government to control price raises. This is because the problem with limiting price increases is that we live in a world economy and most companies have to import something and then they have to pay inflated prices. If they can't pass that increase on to their customers they may go bankrupt, so the government should not try to stop prices from going up.

 

It is better for the government to control price raises than for companies to raise salaries.

This is because, if companies raise salaries, regular company employees will be able to deal with price inflation, but this will not help retirees or other people on fixed incomes or people who work part-time or freelance, so the government capping prices increases is better.

 

Yes, rising prices from inflation are changing how I shop. This is because, before prices started rising, I was an impulse shopper and just bought what looked good to me. But now, I make a shopping list of what I actually need and follow it exactly.

 

No, rising prices from inflation aren't changing how I shop. This is because I think my shopping habits are not changing because I never buy things that I don't need, and even if things are more expensive, I have the money to buy everything necessary for my life.

 

No, I don't think the minimum wage in my country should be increased. This is because most companies do pay more than minimum wage, but the ones who do not probably cannot afford to pay workers more, and if they have to, they may go out of business, and then they won't be paying workers anything.

 

Yes, I think the minimum wage in my country should be increased. This is because some people do have to support themselves on minimum wage, and it's not high enough to cover rising prices.
