困窮学生に最大２０万円　政府が支援策、与野党に提示

　政府は１４日、新型コロナウイルス感染拡大に伴い、経済的に困窮した学生に１人当たり１０万～２０万円の現金を給付する支援策を、自民党の岸田文雄、立憲民主党の逢坂誠二両政調会長に示した。給付額は自民党の提言に沿っており、予算総額は５００億円程度。財源は、４月末に成立した２０２０年度補正予算の予備費を活用する見通し。
　給付額は、住民税課税世帯が１０万円、非課税世帯は倍の２０万円とする。対象は、感染症拡大の影響でアルバイト収入が減るなどして、修学の継続が困難になった大学生や短大生、専門学校生、日本語学校の生徒ら計４０万人程度を見込む。（2020/05/14-18:23）

The Japanese government Thursday proposed a measure to give students struggling financially due to the coronavirus crisis between 100,000 yen and 200,000 yen per person in cash.
   The measure was presented to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's policy chief, Fumio Kishida, and his counterpart in the opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, Seiji Osaka.
   The assistance, in line with a proposal by the LDP, is expected to cost around 50 billion yen.
   The government is seen utilizing reserve funds under the fiscal 2020 supplementary budget that passed the Diet, Japan's parliament, in late April.
   Struggling students from low-income households exempted from resident tax will be eligible to receive 200,000 yen, while those from higher-income families will be given half the amount.
