A special government team aimed at preventing further social isolation of individuals was launched Tuesday, with Prime Minister Naoto Kan saying this initiative is ‘‘a national project.’’ The initiative is modeled on the European Union’s social inclusion policy. With the team, Kan is hoping to stem the increasing number of people in Japan at risk of poverty and social exclusion.
The team, headed by Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Tetsuro Fukuyama, will try to prepare a set of proposals in the summer and have specific measures put into the state budget of fiscal 2011, according to government officials.
