Article 1Purpose of the National Pension System

第一条(国民年金制度の目的)

The National Pension system, based on the principle prescribed in Article 25, paragraph (2) of the Constitution of Japan, aims to prevent, through the mutual solidarity of the people, the stability of the people's livelihood from being impaired by old age, disability, or death, and thereby to contribute to the maintenance and improvement of a sound livelihood for the people.

国民年金制度は、日本国憲法第二十五条第二項に規定する理念に基き、老齢、障害又は死亡によつて国民生活の安定がそこなわれることを国民の共同連帯によつて防止し、もつて健全な国民生活の維持及び向上に寄与することを目的とする。
