This study aims to elaborate on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Japan, particularly focusing on the country’s economic sector. In this study, we present the overall picture of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Japan, focusing on why the country’s countermeasures against COVID-19 have been delayed. As per our findings, it would be safe to say that the Japanese government has failed to contain the COVID-19 pandemic by failing to provide sufficient medical support. This is because of its refusal to change from the conservative policies it has implemented since the 1990s. Half-hearted countermeasures against infectious diseases and economic promotion measures that are inconsistent with the countermeasures against infectious diseases have not slowed down the spread of the pandemic. A change in direction from conservatism is essential not only for the containment of the coronavirus but also for the prospect of a long-term sustainable society. LA ECONOMIA JAPONESA Y LA PANDEMIA DE COVID-19 RESUMEN Este estudio tiene como objetivo explicar como ha afectado la pandemia de COVID-19 a Japon, enfocandonos especialmente en el sector economico del pais. Presentamos el panorama general del impacto de la pandemia de COVID-19 en Japon, centrandonos en las razones por las que se han retrasado las contramedidas contra la pandemia. Segun nuestras conclusiones, se puede afirmar que el gobierno japones ha fracasado en la contencion de la pandemia de COVID-19 al no proporcionar suficiente apoyo medico. Esto se debe a su negativa a cambiar las politicas conservadoras que ha aplicado desde la decada de 1990. Las medidas poco entusiastas contra las enfermedades infecciosas y las politicas de promocion economica que no son coherentes con las estrategias contra las enfermedades infecciosas no han frenado la propagacion de la enfermedad. Un cambio de rumbo de esas politicas es esencial no solo para la contencion del coronavirus, sino tambien para la perspectiva de una sociedad sostenible a largo plazo. |
