Abema Times The government has been putting a lot of effort into “childcare policies”, which were a major issue in the recent Tokyo gubernatorial election. This includes support for working women during childbirth and childcare, and an increasing number of companies are becoming more understanding and caring, but one opinion about this trend is causing debate. “When I was young, I was told not to get married and to leave my wife if I wanted to work. It’s tough having to now give the support to working moms that I didn’t get myself.” This drew sympathetic voices, and many people expressed their opinions calling for support to be given to single people who support those with children behind the scenes. Some people even said, “It’s not that I don’t have children because I want to.” On “Abema Prime,” he discussed the division between those with children and those without children. ■ “I’m dissatisfied with the atmosphere that it’s expected” What kind of support do childless people want?

Ene-san (a woman in her 30s), who works as a contract employee in the medical field, feels the burden of being an employee with children. Specific complaints include employees who use child-rearing as an excuse to take time off at any time, or who go home on time but sometimes go out to play, the fact that “it can’t be helped because I have children” is used as an excuse, and the feeling that single people and those without children don’t even have human rights. “I don’t have any complaints about working overtime, but when you’re single and don’t have children, there’s an atmosphere that it’s expected that you’ll take over someone’s work. That’s really frustrating.” Yoko Asao, representative director of the general incorporated association wink, also pointed out that there are many complaints about the idea that “support should be a given.” “In my research, dissatisfaction was directed at managers rather than at those taking parental leave or working reduced hours. There is no bias depending on the industry, but up until now it has been mostly women who have taken parental leave, so I get the impression that this is more likely to happen in ’women’s workplaces.’” Continue reading below.

>>16 You’re working as hard as you can, so if you have to take on additional work or difficult tasks, it’s too much. You’ll understand if you have a child.
The reason why the government’s approval rating does not increase even when it provides child-rearing support is because the elderly say, “When we were young, there was no support. I think it’s because people think that “children should be raised with one’s own money.”
It’s been said since ancient times that it’s rotation. You’re not raising taxpayers who choose not to follow the path everyone else takes and live alone playing, so at least do a job. No one has ever said not to get married. I think you were just assuming this to make things easier for yourself.
