In order to eliminate waiting-list children waiting for nursery schools to become available, the government has decided to prepare a new saucer for 140,000 children in the next four years.
It is estimated that an additional 159 billion yen will be required to realize this, and the issue is how to secure financial resources.
The government planned to reduce the number of waiting children to zero by the end of this year, but due to the rising employment rate of women and other factors, the demand for childcare could not keep up with the demand for childcare, and the government will formulate a new plan to eliminate waiting children. I have decided.
Therefore, as a result of asking local governments nationwide to report on the necessary childcare trays, it was found that 140,000 people would need to be added in the four years until the end of Reiwa 6, and we decided to develop a new policy.
The government estimates that it will need additional financial resources of approximately 159 billion yen.
The operating costs of the nursery school are covered by contributions from companies and the increase in consumption tax, but the economic situation is severe due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus, and the business community can understand that it will require an additional burden. Is the focus.
In addition, the government will work shorter hours instead of one full-time childcare worker if it is unavoidable to increase the number of children who can use the empty space of the kindergarten for small-scale childcare or as a countermeasure against the shortage of childcare workers. We are also considering allowing childcare workers to work with us.
After the beginning of the week, the government will consider further and formulate a new plan by the end of the year.
