Amid the ongoing spread of the new coronavirus, five opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party, newly provided special benefits to support single-parent households receiving single-children's allowances. We have submitted a bill to the Diet to double the allowance.
On the 15th, the 5 members of the Constitutional Democratic Party, the National Democratic Party, the Japan Restoration Party, the Communist Party, and the Social Democratic Party jointly submitted a bill to the House of Representatives to support child-rearing households such as single parents who have a difficult life.
The bill stipulates that households receiving child support allowances will be provided with a new special benefit, effectively doubling the allowance.
This year, the half-year period from March to August is targeted, and after September, payment will be considered based on the infection situation and economic situation.
After submitting the bill, the Constitutional Democratic Party's member of the House of Representatives, Kana Oji, told reporters, "The poverty rate of single-parent families is high, and the expense of food and utilities is also increasing because children are at home. I want to enact a bill so that I can live in Japan. "
