How can socially stagnant countries like Brazil and Japan achieve further economic development?

The president has been replaced in Brazil and former president Lula has been inaugurated.

President Lula is inaugurated in Brazil, and some tears were shed during his speech.
January 3, 2023 BBC News Japan
Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva, who won Brazil's presidential election last October, was sworn into office on January 1.
Lula, a leftist, served two terms as president from 2003 to 2010, and this was his third time in office. In his inaugural address, Lula vowed to rebuild Brazil, which is in a "terrible situation". He also criticized the policies of his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro left the country on December 30 of last year and is currently in the United States. As such, he did not participate in the ceremonial transfer of authority, his last duty as president.
After his last term in office, Lula was found guilty of corruption in 2017 and was barred from running for president in the previous 2018 presidential election because of his prison sentence. The conviction was nullified in 2021.
Brazil's new president, Lula, weeps in his inaugural speech when he mentions the impoverishment of his people.

Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva, who won Brazil's presidential election last October, was sworn into office on January 1 in the capital Brasilia.
Speaking to the Brazilian people after the inauguration, the new president was so moved several times that he took out his handkerchief.
Lula choked up and wiped away tears when he mentioned the people begging by the traffic lights.
-------------------------------------------
In the inaugural article, "Mr. Lula shed tears when he talked about the poverty of the people" which seems to be the most important social issue, so I will talk about [the problem of poverty inequality in Brazil] this time.
＜Information on Poverty in Brazil＞
(1) Brazil has the world's largest disparity between rich and poor. One of the causes of the income disparity is the regional disparity within Brazil. While affluent regions such as the southeast have developed to the level of developed countries, the standard of living in the undeveloped north, midwest, and often drought-stricken northeast remains on par with that of the poorest countries.
(2) Under the extreme income oligopoly, as many as 60% of the population belongs to the poor, whose income is less than one-half of the national average income.
(3) Furthermore, the number of extremely poor people who live on less than half of the monthly minimum wage (about $70) is as high as 54 million, or 32.1% of the nation's population.
Many children are unable to receive an education, and the disparity between the rich and poor is linked to the educational gap, and there exists a social problem where the wealth gap is fixed as a class gap.
This is a problem that is occurring not only in Brazil, but also in the U.S., EU, China, Korea, and Japan.
Any country with a population of more than 100 million people will have a poor population unless it has a very favorable economic development, but this is too much in Brazil.
But surprisingly, Brazil has one of the highest taxes in the world.
In the final tax burden ratio, which consists mainly of taxes on profits and taxes on workers, Brazil's tax burden ratio is just under 70% due to various tax systems in each country.
Japan's tax burden is around 50%.
Japan has a better social security system, including medical care and pensions, than Brazil, but why is the tax burden heavier in Brazil than in Japan?
This points to the fact that even if the government collects money from individuals and companies as taxes and spends it on social programs, it does not mean that they will become richer.
In the case of Brazil, the tax rate is so high and the tax range is so wide that it would be difficult to raise the tax rate and start national business in the future.
In addition, as for measures to address the declining birthrate and aging population in Japan, a country that has followed Brazil's lead and is in a state of national stagnation, policies such as raising consumption and income taxes or social insurance premium rates will lead to a widening gap between the rich and poor and social stagnation, just as in Brazil.
Brazil, a country on the other side of the globe, has its own social problems, and any country that is moving toward poverty needs to make the same policies and social movements that Brazil has to make.
This article is a "little helpful" policy proposal for Brazil at this stage and a warning to Japan.

Issues in socially stagnant countries* such as Brazil and Japan
I, Maitreya have studied the situation in both countries and conducted field research to identify common challenges, which can be divided into two categories: what can be done now and what can be done in the era of harmonious integration.
*What is a socially stagnant country? A country where poverty and inequality problems (like Brazil) and an aging society (like Japan) with a declining birthrate and a social system that gives too much preferential treatment to the elderly remain unresolved for a long time, and the people of the country have lost their motivation.
In Brazil and Japan, the percentage of people who are "motivated to start up and accomplish something" is small as a percentage of the total population.
Causes of national stagnation in Brazil and Japan
(1) Other countries occupy the industries with potential for success, or the population is so large that there is excessive competition and oligopoly within the country, and the environment is not stable enough for everyone to make a living.
(2) There is a strong policy of discouraging the people as a state political regulation and economic policy. Although tax burdens are necessary for the operation of a nation, a nation that does not have a level of motivation that exceeds the burden will stagnate and decline. Brazil is stuck in a developing country style of state management, while Japan is stagnant and declining.
In both Brazil and Japan
(1) Without the establishment of a "system in which global harmonic integration can be achieved (the New World Order)," full-scale social reforms will end up being only minor reforms and become closer to socialism. Freedom will be lost, and the state will restrict and determine the actions of businesses and citizens. It will be close to state mobilization during war, so to speak.
Full-scale social reform is currently impossible, but there is a possible remedy even in the current situation.
However, there is an improvement that is possible even in the current situation: "Exporting human resources other than athletes overseas.
Brazil exports soccer players, Japan exports baseball players and soccer players to Europe for soccer and to the U.S. for baseball to countries with big markets, but even though they become migrant workers, they do not go as far as developing their home country's industries.
In terms of "fostering industries that can export trade from their home countries," it would be possible to change the policy so that young people can go abroad to find jobs and manage companies not only domestically but also abroad, instead of staying in their home countries.
Globally speaking, in a nation with a large population but low national motivation, "immigration abroad is inevitable, but the people also need to actively consider overseas immigration ahead of time before they are forced into a corner, rather than being forced into a corner and fleeing poverty as a family."
Indeed, that might seem like a way for some people to flee the nation.
But it is still "better than a nation as a whole that is discouraged and heavily taxed."
In the case of Japan, the politicians who run the country will not change their minds unless there is a little bit of immigration abroad.
In a stagnant society, it will be necessary to increase the number of overseas immigrants and to revitalize both the population of the remaining people in their own country and the immigrants from abroad.
