The government is considering in a direction to encourage male government officials to take childcare leave for a month or more in principle, and the government will take the initiative to promote the movement of private companies and local governments. We want to make it easier to take childcare leave.
National civil servants working in central ministries and other agencies can take childcare leave, regardless of gender, until the child is three years old. Excluding special positions such as SDF personnel, it was 21.6%, exceeding 20% for the first time. However, the period of acquisition was 72% for less than one month, and only 28% acquired for more than one month. It is.
Under these circumstances, the government is considering to encourage the period to be at least one month in principle in order to further promote male childcare leave.
In central government ministries and agencies, the status of taking childcare leave from subordinates is positioned as one of the elements of personnel evaluation for managers.
The government has a policy to compile concrete measures to encourage acquisition within the year, and the government will take the initiative to accelerate the movement of private companies and local governments, making it easy for men to take childcare leave. I want to arrange.
