Japanese IT firms offer more childcare support www3.nhk.or.jp
Major Japanese IT firms are providing more support for employees who are raising young children.
Online mall operator Rakuten plans to expand a daycare center at its headquarters to accommodate 60 children in April. It had 20 places when it opened 2 years ago.
The center has English-speaking childcare workers because Rakuten has many foreign employees.
Managing Executive Officer Akio Sugihara says the company wants to help people to raise children without giving up their careers.
Portal site operator Yahoo Japan plans to allow staff who are raising children or providing nursing care for their relatives to take 3 days off a week.
Another IT firm, CyberAgent, has started a subsidy program for employees who send their children to unauthorized daycare facilities, which charge higher fees than authorized ones.
CyberAgent official Yukiko Tamura says those who apply for the subsidy say they were able to return to work thanks to the program.
The employees of the 3 firms have an average age of 32 to 36.
