The Liberal Democratic Party, the Komeito Party, and the Democratic Party for the People have set up a study team to discuss support measures for children called "young carers" who are busy caring for their families as part of policy discussions between the three parties. I confirmed that I would summarize the direction inside.
The Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party and the Democratic Party for the People are called "young carers" who are busy caring for their families after agreeing to expand subsidies to oil wholesalers last week over measures against soaring crude oil prices. We have set up a study team to discuss support measures for children.
Former Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Tamura of the Liberal Democratic Party, Member of the House of Councilors Takae Ito of the Komeito Party, and Deputy Representative Ito of the Democratic Party for the People attended the first meeting held in the Diet on the 27th. In the survey, one in 17 junior high school students was classified as a "young carer" and explained the current status of support.
After arranging the issues in the future, we examined the necessity of legislation and confirmed that the direction of support measures will be summarized during the current Diet session.
The study team was set up at the request of the Democratic Party for the People, and it seems that there is also the aim of exploring the possibility of future cooperation by continuing discussions between the three parties.
