The Liberal Democratic Party has decided to start concrete discussions next week over the establishment of the "Children's Office", which will centrally take charge of policies related to children, and will consider how the organization should be, including whether to step into the reorganization of central government ministries and agencies. , I am aiming to reflect this in the "Bold Policy".
Regarding the state of administration regarding children, Prime Minister Suga received a proposal from a volunteer member of the Liberal Democratic Party to establish a "Children's Office" that is responsible for centralized policy, and asked the Secretary-General Nikai to proceed with the examination within the party. I instructed.
In response to this, the Liberal Democratic Party will set up a new institution with Mr. Nikai at the top next week to start concrete discussions.
Opinions are expected to be exchanged on how to deal with a wide range of issues such as prevention of abuse and child poverty, and whether to unify the competent authorities of kindergartens, nursery schools and certified children's institutes.
In addition, there was an opinion that the Liberal Democratic Party should step into the reorganization of central government ministries and agencies, such as Mr. Shimomura, the chairman of the political investigation, pointing out that "it is a big theme that leads to the reorganization of ministries and agencies, and it is meaningless if we do not do so". We will continue to study how this should be, and aim to reflect it in the government's "bone-shaped policy" and the promises of the House of Representatives election.
