Representative Tamaki of the Democratic Party for the People held a meeting with Prime Minister Kishida and requested that the income limit on child allowances be abolished, the amount of benefits should be lifted, and the target should be extended to 18 years old in order to enhance child-rearing support.
Representative Tamaki of the Democratic Party for the People met with Prime Minister Kishida in the Diet on the 7th and handed over a proposal for enhancing childcare support and realizing wage increases.
The proposal calls for the abolishment of all income restrictions on public child-rearing support benefits. We asked to expand the target to 18 years old.
In addition to introducing a tax system to support households with many children, it is necessary to take measures to ensure that the status and treatment at the workplace do not decline after taking maternity or childcare leave.
On the other hand, in order to spread the momentum of wage increases to small and medium-sized enterprises and non-regular workers, the government, the business community, and the labor community should hold a "government-labor-management meeting" and come up with a unified message.
Furthermore, in order to respond to further increases in electricity bills from April this year, we requested that measures be taken using the reserve fund.
After this, Tamaki said, "If it is a policy that focuses on children, it is philosophically appropriate to do it without income restrictions. Regarding the ``Government-Labor-Management Conference,'' Prime Minister Kishida said, ``We will adjust in the direction we do it.'' ' said.
