A specific policy or measure implemented to address an issue.

Readings

Noun

"Policy" / "Measure"

A concrete plan or action executed by an administration or organization to solve a problem or implement a policy.

Good to know

施策（しさく） means a concrete policy, measure, or practical step taken to deal with an issue.

It is common in government, business, and planning contexts. It sounds more formal than everyday words like やり方 or 対策.

Useful contrast: 方針（ほうしん） is the overall direction or guiding principle. 施策（しさく） is the specific action taken to make that direction happen.

Common phrases include 施策を講じる（しさくをこうじる）, “to take measures,” and 施策を打ち出す（しさくをうちだす）, “to announce or launch a policy.”

Reading note: The standard reading is しさく, but in government settings you may hear せさく. This helps avoid confusion with homophones like 試作（しさく）, “prototype,” and 思索（しさく）, “speculation/reflection.”

Example

政府は新しい経済施策を発表した。

The government announced a new economic policy.
