According to the materials submitted to the graduate school subcommittee of the Central Council for Education, only 180% of the students studying in the doctoral program at the graduate school receive financial support equivalent to living expenses of 13.2 million yen or more per year. I found out.

 The material is Mitsubishi UFJ Research & Consulting (President Satoshi Murabayashi, Tokyo) based on data from research company Intage Research (President Takashi Inoue, Higashikurume City, Tokyo) interviewing 2015 people nationwide about the status of receipts as of FY5. The data as of 1,024 compiled by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology was compared and created.

 それによると、博士課程で学ぶ学生1人当たりの授業料減免措置を含めた経済的支援受給額は、年60万円未満が20.5%、60万円以上120万円未満が6.9%、120万円以上180万円未満が8.0%、180万円以上240万円未満が5.2%、240万円以上が8.0%。これに対し、受給なしは全体の50.9%を占めた。

 The number of unpaid students decreased by 54.1 points from 3.2% in the previous survey.The number of beneficiaries equivalent to living expenses increased by 10.2 points from the previous 3%, but did not reach the 20% target set by the government's basic science and technology plan.More than half of the students who receive financial support equivalent to their living expenses were recipients of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science's special researcher project.

 In projects aimed at fostering doctoral students such as special researchers, the proportion of recipients of living expenses was high, but in competitive funds such as scientific research grants, both recipients and recipients tended to be small.

 About 3% of the students are receiving the tuition reduction and exemption measures, an increase of 8% from the previous time.More than 8% of working students did not receive the exemption.
