Following the spread of the new coronavirus, Kawasaki City has decided to provide its own benefits to single-parent households in the city.
According to Kawasaki City, the benefit is covered from one month in any month from March to this month, regardless of the number of children, such as single-parent households living in the city that are eligible for child rearing allowance. A flat rate of 20,000 yen will be paid.
If it is a target household, the application procedure is not required, and it will be transferred sequentially by the beginning of July.
With about 6200 households covered, the city expects to spend more than 125 million yen.
In Kanagawa Prefecture, Hiratsuka City and Ayase City will pay 30,000 yen, and Aikawa Town will pay 20,000 yen.
Norihiko Fukuda, the mayor of Kawasaki City, said, “In a questionnaire survey of the city, 60% of single-parent households were non-regular employment. As the state of emergency was extended and economic rigor increased, the amount of money was small, but it helped a little. I hope that will happen ".
