In response to the prolonged effects of the new coronavirus, Komeito representative Yamaguchi expressed the idea that a uniform payment of 100,000 yen per person should be provided to children up to the age of 18.
Komeito representative Yamaguchi said at a press conference on the 21st, "As the effects of the new coronavirus continue to prolong, food expenses and communication costs tend to increase, and it is the child-rearing households that are particularly affected. I pointed out.
He added, "From the perspective of supporting all the children who will bear the future of Japan in society as a whole, it is desirable to provide uniform benefits without income restrictions." He expressed the idea that a per capita benefit of 100,000 yen should be provided.
In addition, the method of payment, including whether to use cash or points, will be considered in the future.
Mr. Yamaguchi expressed his intention to incorporate these contents into the coalition government agreement, which is expected to be newly concluded between the LDP and the Komei Party after the LDP presidential election, and the government pledge of the next House of Representatives election.
