Postal pension - Yubinnenkin

Japanese: 郵便年金 - ゆうびんねんきん
Postal pension - Yubinnenkin

A government-run voluntary personal pension insurance operated by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. It was established by the Postal Pension Act of 1926 (Taisho 15). After World War II, it was closed due to inflation and other factors, and stopped accepting new contracts from around 1968 (Showa 43). However, in response to the growing need for personal pensions due to the aging of the population, the New Postal Pension was launched in 1981. Furthermore, in 1991 (Heisei 3) to meet the need for lifelong security, the Postal Pension System was integrated into the Postal Life Insurance System and the law was also integrated into the Postal Life Insurance Act, and Postal Pension became "Postal Life Insurance Pension Insurance", and the name Postal Pension was no longer legally known. In addition, the jurisdiction over the three postal services, including postal life insurance, was transferred from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to the Postal Services Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in a government reorganization in January 2001, and furthermore, in accordance with the Japan Post Public Corporation Act of 2002, it became Japan Post Public Corporation in April 2003, but in accordance with the six postal privatization-related acts of 2005, it was split into four companies under the holding company Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd. in October 2007, and the life insurance business was inherited by Japan Post Insurance Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd. (The Postal Life Insurance Act was abolished). However, postal life insurance contracts with government guarantees that were concluded before privatization are managed by the Independent Administrative Institution Management Organization for Postal Savings and Postal Life Insurance.

郵政省が運営していた国営の任意の個人年金保険。1926年(大正15)の郵便年金法により発足。第二次世界大戦後は、インフレなどにより開店休業の状態になり、1968年(昭和43)ごろからは新契約の募集を停止していたが、高齢化の進展に伴う個人年金に対するニーズの高まりに対応して、1981年に新郵便年金が発足した。さらに、1991年(平成3)には、生涯保障ニーズに対応するために郵便年金制度が簡易生命保険制度に統合され、法律も簡易生命保険法に統合され、郵便年金は「簡易生命保険の年金保険」となり、法律上の郵便年金という名称はなくなった。なお、簡易生命保険を含む郵政3事業の所管は、2001年1月の省庁再編で郵政省から総務省郵政事業庁へ移り、さらに2002年の日本郵政公社法により2003年4月から日本郵政公社となったが、2005年の郵政民営化関連6法により、2007年10月から持株会社である日本郵政株式会社のもとに4社に分割され、生命保険の事業は日本郵政株式会社の子会社である株式会社かんぽ生命保険に継承された(簡易生命保険法は廃止)。ただし民営化以前に取り交わされた政府保証のある簡易生命保険契約については、独立行政法人郵便貯金・簡易生命保険管理機構が管理を行っている。
