The government's “Summary of Countermeasures for Declining Birthrate Society” has come to be reviewed once every five years, and an expert review group has compiled the outline of the proposal for the formulation of a new general rule.
According to it, after setting the desired birthrate 1.8 as a basic goal, we will create a society where younger generations can get married and have children at the desired time.
In addition, we reviewed work styles and lifestyles based on the division of roles by gender, promoted the establishment of childcare leave, encouraged participation in male housework and childcare, and enhanced human and financial support for child-rearing families, In addition, AI = artificial intelligence and ICT = information communication technology are utilized to improve the efficiency of childcare and child-rearing related procedures.
Based on this recommendation, the government will decide on a new charter during the current fiscal year.
