In an effort to change the mindset of society to think of “childcare leave” not as a period of time off from work but as a period of time to nurture children, who are a treasure of society, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government solicited applications for the nickname of “childcare leave” and selected “Ikugyo” from among 8,825 applications.
The “TEAM Housework & Childcare” website will be intensively developing a variety of special projects related to “childcare” in conjunction with the introduction of “postnatal father childcare leave” in October 2022!
