The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan held a meeting regarding the expansion of child allowances, and the members who attended said that income restrictions should be abolished and that support for low-income single-parent households should be generous.
Regarding the child allowance, both the ruling and opposition parties have expressed opinions calling for expansion, such as the removal of income restrictions, and it has become one of the themes of debate in the Diet.
At the meeting of the Constitutional Democratic Party, the members who attended said that only some high-income households would benefit from the abolition of the income limit on child allowances, so along with the abolition, support would be given to low-income single-parent households. There were many opinions such as that the payment period should be extended until the child graduates from high school.
In addition, a representative of an organization that supports single-parent households also attended the meeting, saying, "There are children who are cutting down on the money they spend on food and clothing. I would like discussions to spread support to these households." I want to."
