賃上げで経済底上げ　菅首相「社会経済構造を転換」―骨太方針の骨子・諮問会議

　政府は２５日の経済財政諮問会議（議長・菅義偉首相）で、６月に策定する経済財政運営の基本指針「骨太の方針」の骨子案を示した。地方創生推進のため「賃上げを通じた経済の底上げ」の必要性を明記。「子どもを産み育てやすい社会の実現」も掲げ、新型コロナウイルス感染収束後を見据えた日本経済の持続的な成長を目指す。
　骨子案では、地方創生と子育て支援にグリーン社会実現、デジタル化加速を合わせた四つを経済成長の「原動力」と位置付けた。首相は会議で「四つの課題に取り組み、民間の大胆な投資とイノベーションを促し、社会経済構造の転換につなげる」と強調した。（2021/05/25-20:06）

The Japanese government said Tuesday it aims to bolster the country's economy through wage increases to promote regional revitalization.
   In a draft outline of its economic and fiscal policy guidelines due out June, the government also said it will pursue a society that makes it easier for people to have children and raise them.
   The draft said that regional revitalization, support for child care, the realization of a green society and digital reform are engines of growth for the country.
   "We'll tackle the four tasks, promote bold investment and innovation by the private sector and bring about a shift in the social economic structure," Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told a meeting of his Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy.
   For regional revitalization, the government will call for promoting flows of people from urban to regional areas by raising the national average of minimum wages to 1,000 yen per hour at an early date.
