YouMeWe NPO White Paper on Children’s Rights.pdfMichael Clemons
Introduction:
There are currently 39,000 children in care living in Japan lacking parental support and guidance needed to successfully transition into adulthood after aging out of the child welfare system. Behavioral problems, financial distress, and lack of autonomy are a few problems the youth struggle with due to being brought up in these institutionalized homes. Due to Japan’s hierarchical culture, changes must be implemented by the government rather than the homes themselves. While change within the homes themselves is effective on a local level, the government needs to create an enforceable legal mechanism to protect the rights of children in care at a systemic level (a top-down approach). This means concrete and actionable policies, enshrined into Japanese law to guarantee legal protections for the rights of children in institutionalized homes. Mandatory educational-based exercises and a system of children’s rights need to be implemented for the success of Japan’s current and future generations.

The II Insights Dashboard brings the data to the client from our perceptions studies allowing them to study and analyze the information from numerous angles to support their business.
See the ESG score that CAM has for my Japan’s Universe.
It has 100 for each pilar, thus a perfect company should have 3 x 100 = 300. The average score for E is actually good, it has been higher compared to the S or G.
Knowing that many companies in their universe have a good E-score, the challenge they have is to find companies which also have a good S-score and G-score. The company with a nearly equal exposure to E,S,G is the firm that goes into the constituent of the fund, and they have been the driver for the fantastic performance.
Within 4 years, they achieved +33% above MSCI Japan or TOPIX.
At the same time, they also understand that the ESG score has helped them avoid the -38% compared to MSCI Japan.
Firms with negative outlook on their ESG activities will have difficulty to sustain the profitability of their business, and it will transformed as lower price for their stock.
Ambassadors from YouMeWe are going out to the homes we support and teaching the staff how to embrace IOT devices. We purchased ALEXA for most of the homes offices and each month will introduce them to a new facet of IOT.
We are looking at ways to raise capital to have a social impact. Whether that be through employing the youth we support and/or supporting the efforts to reunite the children with their estranged parents once their issues are addressed and treated.
