To accelerate the declining birthrate, the government will provide preferential measures to reduce contributions to the government and increase the benefits paid to those who are taking childcare leave for companies that actively support childcare I have decided to do it.
The number of children born last year is estimated to be less than 900,000, more than 860,000 nationwide for the first time, and the birthrate is falling faster than expected.
In light of this, the government has decided to increase the rate of childcare leave for “children and childcare contributions” in which companies contribute 0.36% of the average monthly salary of employees to the country as a financial source for childcare measures in order to accelerate measures to reduce the birthrate. We have strengthened our policy to provide preferential measures to reduce contributions for companies that are active in child care support, such as high.
In addition, as a way to support those who are taking childcare leave, we plan to expand the “payment for childcare leave,” which provides up to 67% of the income before leave.
The government is making adjustments to include such content in the "Summary of Measures for a Declining Birthrate Society", which will be revised next month.
