Temporary closure school Lawyer points out that there is a large impact on single parents
Sakura Shimada, who raises elementary school children by himself, points out that if a school is closed for a long time, the impact on single parents is particularly large.
Shimada said, `` When single parents have to rest for a long time due to the closure of school, they think that they are forced to take a break from work when the child usually gets fever, and that they are bothering others. When you lose a job, it is very difficult for a single parent to get a job again.
He added, "The government is asking companies to create an environment where workers can easily take a break, but in Japan many are small and medium-sized businesses and cannot afford to rely solely on corporate efforts. Or create an environment where parents can take a break. "
