The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan is reportedly pushing for a proposal to provide a temporary relief of 40,000 yen to citizens. This forms part of their comprehensive plan to address the socioeconomic issues created by the pandemic. The specifics of how the proposal will be implemented and who it would benefit are still under discussion. The party hopes this relief measure will augment the government's efforts to stabilize the struggling economy.

Economic relief measures like this are a critical issue in Japan, where the effects of the coronavirus pandemic have hit hard, leading to businesses' shutdown, unemployment, and wage reduction. The Japanese public is anxiously waiting for the implementation of such a stimulus package, which they perceive as crucial to their survival and economic recovery.

In the US and the EU, governments have been providing varied relief packages to their citizens. In the US, stimulus checks have been sent out several times during the pandemic. These amounts vary based on income and dependents. The EU also has country-specific measures, which include wage subsidies and unemployment benefits. Japan's suggested relief measure is in line with these initiatives.
