While births in Japan have grown (very little) in recent years, the Japanese government tries by all means motivate young people to have children to avoid the big problems that an aging of the population supposes.
They need more children anyway, and companies have been asked to collaborate in the crusade to encourage young men and women to have children who are mostly attracted to their professional careers rather than the idea of changing diapers.
To tempt them with a blunt argument, the Japanese government has established the baby bonus that far from the 100 euros charged in Madrid for having a baby, grants financial incentives Much more succulent.
Instead of discriminating against employees because they are parents, as you can see what happens in some companies, they provide all kinds of benefits ranging from cash to mobile phones.
In the Softbank company they pay 400 dollars for the first child up to more than 40 thousand dollars if some daring dares with a fifth child. In addition, they are more flexible with employees who are parents, allowing them to take time off and work from home.
Corporations such as Panasonic, Canon and Sharp also offer assistance to women who have been mothers and even in some cases take care of fertility treatment.
Let's see if the example spreads and Spanish and European companies also raise their shoulders in the battle against low birth rates.
