Concerning the Liberal Democratic Party's Secretary-General Motegi's request for the abolishment of income restrictions on child allowances, Nagatsuma, Chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan's Policy Research Council, said that the Liberal Democratic Party had advocated the introduction of income restrictions in the past, I pointed out that I applied the brakes.
LDP Secretary-General Motegi said in a representative's question at the plenary session of the House of Representatives on the 25th, "The first policy to be pursued in Japan's declining birthrate is a drastic expansion of economic support." requested its repeal.
Regarding this, Nagatsuma, chairman of the political affairs research of the Constitutional Democratic Party, said at a press conference, ``We welcome what we have been saying for a long time.
On the other hand, the DPJ government said that it created a child allowance with no income limit, and said, ``There was a big chorus from the Liberal Democratic Party saying, ``Insert an income limit'' and ``Distribute,'' and Mr. Motegi was one of them. I welcome that, but I would like the LDP to reflect on and summarize the past measures against the declining birthrate."
Mr. Motegi said in a question at the Diet in 2011 that "a considerable level of income restriction is necessary" regarding the child allowance at that time.
