To develop guidelines for improving freelance working environment Government: June 25, 18:14
The government's All-Generation Social Security Review Council has compiled an interim report, which states that it will develop guidelines for improving the working environment for people working as freelancers this year.
In the interim report compiled at the meeting on 25th, it was pointed out that it is indispensable to appropriately expand freelance in order to expand diverse working styles and employment of the elderly, and guidelines for improving the working environment are set out. We are planning to formulate this year.
The guidelines stipulate that a contract document is exchanged so as not to be disadvantaged when dealing with a business operator. It states that the law applies.
In addition, regarding the increase of the minimum wage, while maintaining the policy of achieving an average hourly wage of 1,000 yen at an early stage, while the spread of the new coronavirus spread, the situation in which small and medium-sized enterprises are located this year is difficult. Considering this, we will proceed with the examination.
In order to reduce the economic burden of infertility treatment in measures to reduce the birthrate, we are considering broadly applying medical insurance for treatments that have a clear effect and expanding support.
Prime Minister Abe said, ``In the midst of diverse lifestyles, we will consider reforms across social security, including work styles, in order to widely support not only the elderly, but also children, child-rearing generations, and active generations. , And all-generation social security reform is steadily progressing.”
On the other hand, regarding the concrete system design to raise the burden of medical expenses for late-stage elderly, we decided to postpone the final report at the end of this year.
