Family policy in Japan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family policy in the country of Japan refers to government measures that attempt to increase the national birthrate in order to address Japan's declining population.[2] It is speculated that leading causes of Japan's declining birthrate include the institutional and social challenges Japanese women face when expected to care for children while simultaneously working the long hours expected of Japanese workers.[3] Japanese family policy measures therefore seek to make childcare easier for new parents.
