metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The Japanese government places great importance on measures to support people’s livelihood
  and business continuity under the COVID-19 disaster, and has adopted many measures, including
  benefits, but has not yet taken enough measures to prohibit contact between people
  in order to contain the transmission of the virus. As a result, although a sharp increase in
  unemployment has been avoided, the number of new infections per day has begun to rise
  again since the state of emergency was lifted. Unlike the Lehman Shock, the COVID-19 disaster
  is not a one-off event. Therefore, unless the coronavirus epidemic is contained, the impact
  of COVID-19 in Japan will take longer than expected. The article reviews social support
  measures for citizens and business assistance measures taken by the Japanese government in
  response to the pandemic. In particular, it provides information on support measures such as
  special lump-sum payments to citizens, temporary special allowances for families with children,
  and temporary special allowances for low-income single parent families. The latter benefit
  is paid to single parent families with low income to compensate for the increased burden
  of raising a child and the reduced income associated with COVID-19. Among the measures to
  support business, it is worth mentioning subsidies for change of work regime, loans on special
  conditions from the Japan Finance Corporation and private financial institutions and direct
  payments to businesses.
