Environment Minister Koizumi to take childcare leave January 15 at 6:11
The Minister of the Environment, who is considering taking childcare leave, has decided to secure childcare time for two weeks, including three months after the birth of the first child.
Environment Minister Koizumi has been considering whether his wife and freelance announcer Christel Takigawa will have a first child soon and will take childcare leave.
As a result, it is necessary to change the air as well as the system in order for men to take childcare leave. I decided to get it.
Specifically, in the three months after the birth of the first child, a combination of leave, short working hours, and teleworking will secure a total of two weeks of childcare time.
For this reason, we are considering making full use of videoconferencing and e-mail for meetings, etc., and considering having the deputy minister and government officials attend public affairs instead.
Minister Koizumi will announce such a policy on the 15th.
