What? In the current system we pay retired people money based on past employment as well as just for living long enough, in most countries. Japan can no longer do that soon because without taxing their young to poverty, they just don't have enough income to fund it.

If you think unemployment or SS pay a living wage you have things to go learn

I specifically didn't mention SS and somehow you still bring the US into it in a thread about Japan.

I meant most of the world in general which is why I didn't name any such programs by name.

The US isn't the whole world. Other countries exist. We're not even talking about the US here.
