  Key Concepts: 
  A defined contribution pension plan is a type of retirement plan in which the employer contributes a fixed amount to the employee’s pension fund. The employee’s retirement benefits are based on the amount of money that has been contributed to the fund, as well as any investment returns. In Japan, this type of pension plan is known as a “defined contribution pension plan” (DCPP).
  
  How to use it: 
  In Japan, employers are required to provide their employees with a DCPP. Employers must contribute a certain percentage of the employee’s salary to the DCPP each month. The employee can then use this money to invest in various types of investments, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The employee will then receive a lump sum payment at retirement based on the amount of money that has been contributed to the fund and any investment returns.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important for employees to understand how their DCPP works and how their contributions will affect their retirement benefits. Employees should also be aware of any fees or taxes associated with their DCPP. Additionally, employees should consider investing in low-risk investments in order to maximize their returns and minimize their risk.
