The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) was introduced as a means to aid those working poor who have fallen into the gap in coverage between social insurance and the National Minimum Living Standard Security System and to minimize the financial burden borne by the government. The EITC was introduced into an environment in which mid- and long-term financial stability were threatened by an aging population and low birthrate and the related reduced potential for growth, as well as a deepening disparity in wealth.
