The Liberal Democratic Party's investigation committee has positioned the next three years as a period for intensive efforts to take measures, saying that the declining birthrate is accelerating due to the influence of the new corona, and benefits for marriage and childbirth and households with many children. We have put together a proposal to ask the government to expand support.
Given that the number of children born last year reached a record low, the Liberal Democratic Party's Investigation Committee on Countermeasures against the Declining Birthrate has put together a proposal to stop the accelerating declining birthrate due to the impact of the new corona.
Among these, we have positioned the next three years as a period for intensive efforts to take measures, expanded the system to subsidize the rent of newlyweds who meet the requirements such as annual income by up to 600,000 yen, and increased the lump-sum payment for childbirth and childcare. I am seeking.
In addition, as a support for households with many children, the maximum monthly allowance of 15,000 yen per person is currently paid, but the maximum monthly allowance is 30,000 yen for the second child and the third and subsequent children. It is said that it should be drastically increased, such as a maximum of 60,000 yen per month.
The study group will make a proposal to the government early next month and hope to reflect it in the "bone-shaped policy" that the government will put together around the summer.
