21 mayors who agree with the purpose of "Reiwa Rincho" to create a post-corona society launched the "Union of Mayors of Municipalities" to discuss local issues such as depopulation and countermeasures against the declining birthrate. It's decided.
The ``Reiwa National Conference'', commonly known as ``Reiwa Rincho'', in which experts from various fields participate, was launched in June last year, and it is said that it will make proposals not only in the field of politics but also in economic and social issues. .
Twenty-one mayors from all over the country, including Fukuoka City and Suzuka City in Mie Prefecture, who agree with this purpose, launched the "Union of Mayors of Municipalities" and held a press conference on the 7th.
Mayor Takashima of Fukuoka City, who serves as a representative, said, "The basic local government is the closest to the citizens, and we are requesting the government to address issues that we feel are closely related to our lives. I would like to work with 'Reiwa Rincho' to stimulate public opinion and revitalize debate."
As the population continues to decline, the Union of Mayors of Municipalities will focus on regional administration to maintain the welfare of residents, efforts to promote the active participation of women in the economic and political fields, as well as school lunch and childcare costs. We will exchange opinions on the theme of countermeasures against the declining birthrate, such as aiming to reduce the burden of labor on a nationwide basis, and put together proposals.
