育児・介護休業 法の 概要(英語)Outline of the Act on Childcare Leave, Caregiver Leave, and Other Measures for the Welfare of Workers Caring for Children or Other Family Members.
For a safe and sustainable society, the issues of having to choose between work and marriage / childbirth / childcare, or work and caregiving, and establishing work-life balance need to be resolved. Based on this idea, the Act on Childcare Leave, Caregiver Leave, and Other Measures for the Welfare of Workers Caring for Children or Other Family Members promotes support for workers to accommodate both home and work needs, when their time is constrained due to private situations like childcare and caring for family members.
