Women Workplace and Childcare
•
0 likes•169 views
The document discusses challenges women face balancing work and childcare in Japan. Nearly 70% of women participate in the labor force, but 62% quit their jobs after having children due to a lack of affordable, accessible childcare options. There are over 45,000 children on waiting lists for childcare spots, and Japan's birth rate is only 1.41 per woman. To address these issues, the document proposes raising taxes to increase childcare leave allowances, building more childcare facilities, and locating childcare near workplaces to make it easier for women to both work and raise children.

Personal take on: The Future of Work, Summary
Hereby a summarized version of the World Bank course The Future of Work. It is a very brief presentation of some of the keywords learned during the 5 weeks of the course.
Critical Investment
The Partnership for Children of Lincoln and Gaston Counties is the local Smart Start initiative that works to improve access to quality childcare, health services, and family support in the two counties. Smart Start funds early childhood programs and the Partnership convenes local stakeholders to ensure children's healthy development. Investing in early childhood education generates lifelong returns by providing a strong foundation for learning and skill acquisition.

The document summarizes the accomplishments and areas of concern after the first year of implementing the Federal Strategic Plan to prevent and end homelessness called Opening Doors. Key accomplishments included increased collaboration within the federal government and between federal and local organizations, as well as targeting housing and healthcare resources. Two key objectives that require more progress to meet the Plan's goals are providing affordable housing through more permanent and temporary rent subsidies, and increasing economic security through veterans job programs and engagement with the workforce system.
Olli Koski: Comment for Prof. Torben Andersen
This document discusses wage setting and macroeconomic productivity in Finland. It notes that the traditional view of protecting existing industries needs updating given greater variations between firms, globalization, technological changes, and a more polarized labor market. It suggests key aspects for wage setting include macroeconomic resilience, competitiveness and employment, local bargaining flexibility, and facilitating employment for vulnerable groups. The social partners could consider developing buffer funds, export-led bargaining, monitoring crisis clauses, profit sharing, and addressing youth unemployment and long-term unemployment.

Late marriage problems
The average marriage age in Japan is increasing, with 70% of people unmarried between 25-30 years old. This late marriage is causing problems like decreased birth rates and an aging population, which could negatively impact the economy. In response, the Japanese government is trying to make childcare systems more accessible and provide more opportunities for single people to meet, to address the issues caused by citizens delaying marriage and children.

1) The organization is facing significant budget shortfalls for the upcoming fiscal year due to declines in government funding and private foundation grants of around 35% each.
2) Census levels at their main residential program are down 50% due to new child welfare policies, straining their ability to cover costs.
3) In response, the organization has already implemented initial staffing and program reductions and is proposing additional cuts, including closing more offices and putting more staff on reduced schedules, to align their budget with reduced revenues.

The future of aging society
The document discusses the challenges facing an aging society, including a decreasing and aging population. This will lead to a falling production and workforce rate, harming the nation's economy. Several response plans are proposed: create jobs for older people; support women working and families; encourage earlier marriage and childbearing; or do nothing. The best plan would increase support for women workers and childcare to boost the production rate and stabilize the economy.

The document discusses Singapore's population policies from the 1950s to the present. In the 1960s, the government implemented measures like reduced benefits for third children to control rapid population growth which was successful but then led to a declining birth rate in the 1980s. Various pro-family policies and attracting foreign talent have been used since to address the economic and social effects of a declining and aging population.
Jerome de Henau: Costing a Feminist Plan for a Caring Economy
This document proposes a plan for universal free childcare in the UK to address lack of affordable, high-quality childcare and barriers to women's employment. It estimates the costs of providing childcare for all children aged 6 months to primary school by qualified staff paid comparable to teachers or living wages. While the total annual public investment would be £55 billion or £33 billion respectively, employment effects could create 1.7 million jobs and increased tax revenue would fund 88-96% of costs. Universal childcare would boost gender equality, economic growth, and is argued to be more beneficial than austerity policies.

Giving children a good start
Child Poverty Action Group is a nonprofit organization that campaigns to end child poverty in the UK. The document discusses how child poverty rates have historically responded to policy changes but are now projected to rise significantly due to austerity measures and welfare reforms between 2015 and 2020. This will reverse gains made in reducing child poverty and is expected to negatively impact children's health, development, and life chances. Solutions proposed include advocating for anti-poverty policies, publicizing assistance programs, and focusing on policies that support families with costs of living, food insecurity, debt, and children's needs.

The effect of universal child benefits on
labour supply
Tammy Schirle Department of Economics, Wilfrid Laurier
University
Abstract. Using a difference-in-differences estimator, I find the Canadian Universal Child
Care Benefit has significant negative income effects on the labour supply of married in-
dividuals. The likelihood of lower-educated mothers to participate in the labour force is
reduced 3.2 percentage points when receiving the benefit. Median hours worked per week
among lower-educated mothers is reduced by 1.9 hours. The effects on higher-educated
mothers are substantial, with median hours worked among higher-educated mothers re-
duced by nearly one hour per week. For men, the evidence suggests small but significant
income effects on labour supply, consistent with the literature on labour supply elasticities.

Domestic Worker Policy in India FINAL
The document discusses domestic worker policy issues in India. It notes that domestic workers face inequality, including gender disparity, child labor, and lack of social benefits. The current policy aims to improve skills but has not addressed underlying issues like working conditions. Reforms are needed to focus on education to better protect domestic workers and address issues like low education rates, gender gaps in education, and child labor.
Experience and Implication
The document discusses South Korea's efforts to promote work-family balance policies through measures like childcare leave and childcare support. It aims to increase women's employment rates and address the low birth rate. While women's employment has increased, it remains below the OECD average. Younger generations of Korean women experience career interruptions after marriage and childbirth. The government has implemented policies like paid parental leave and reduced work hours to support working parents. However, greater participation of fathers in childcare is still needed. Expanding work-family balance initiatives to small and medium businesses is also a priority, as most women work at these companies. Cooperation across all sectors of society is key to creating a more family-friendly culture.

North east economy a perspective for common purpose
The document discusses child poverty in the North East of England. It defines child poverty and notes that over 130,000 children in the North East live in poverty. Child poverty rates vary significantly across different areas, with over half of children in Thorntree living in poverty. While child poverty was previously falling, rates are now rising again due to changes in tax and welfare policies rather than employment and wages. The causes and effects of child poverty are examined, as well as potential solutions. For child poverty to be eliminated, the North East economy would need more and better jobs that are accessible through improved skills, transport, and childcare support. Employers, schools, public bodies, and individuals all have a role to play in addressing child

Responses to high and low fertility overview
The document discusses population terms and policies. It examines dependency ratios and the impacts of youthful and aging populations. It evaluates examples of a pro-natalist policy in Singapore that aims to increase births through incentives, and an anti-natalist policy in China that aims to limit fertility through incentives and deterrents such as fines and forced abortions.
Preparing Leaders for the Workforce of the Future
There are big changes coming to the American workforce. In order to survive and thrive in the very different workplace of tomorrow, organizations need to know, plan and stay in front of these changes. Here's a sneak peek to my keynote, "Preparing Leaders for the Workforce of the Future."
Poor Children in Rich Households
This document summarizes a presentation on investigating patterns of mismatch between household wealth and child well-being in Ethiopia and Vietnam using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods. The study aims to explore if mismatches are due to measurement error, lagged effects of poverty, opportunity costs of child labor, or other household, infrastructure, social attitude factors. Quantitative data from surveys in both countries from 1999-2009 are analyzed along with qualitative interviews. Preliminary findings show complex relationships between monetary poverty and multidimensional child outcomes. Policy implications focus on improving measurement of child poverty, targeting programs, and addressing underlying causes through livelihood and social programs rather than individual blame.
James Lewis_Opportunity Dividend Summit
The document discusses strategies for creating an effective anti-poverty program in the Chicago area. It analyzes different types of interventions and barriers faced by the poor. Early childhood education, job creation, income supports, and English language learning are identified as promising approaches. Successful interventions need to consider displacement effects, demographic trends, business cycles, and varying returns on investment across program types.
Child labour
The document discusses the issue of child labor around the world. It notes that 218 million children work under harsh conditions instead of attending school. Child labor refers to work that harms children physically, mentally, or morally, or prevents their access to education. Poverty is a major factor driving child labor, as families in poorer areas cannot afford to send children to school. While laws banning child labor have been passed, enforcement remains a challenge. Ending poverty and increasing access to education are seen as key ways to ultimately eliminate the practice of child labor.
How to improve economic opportunity for women in the US
This document summarizes strategies for improving economic opportunity for women in the United States. It begins with an overview of women's gains in labor force participation and earnings but notes that many still struggle with low wages and poverty. It then examines specific challenges such as high childcare costs, high effective marginal tax rates, low wages, and single motherhood. Current policies aimed at childcare and low wages, such as tax credits, are reviewed along with their shortcomings. Reforms proposed to better support women include expanding and streamlining childcare subsidies, reducing marginal tax rates, boosting the Earned Income Tax Credit, and investing more in women's education from an early age.
Alison Garnham - London Child Poverty Conference
The document discusses child poverty in the UK. It notes that child poverty is projected to rise significantly by 2020 according to IFS estimates. Factors that influence child poverty rates include parental employment levels, cost of living, benefits policy, and funding for programs that support children from low-income families. The document calls for policy responses like improving early education programs, monitoring the pupil premium, reforming universal credit, and local initiatives to boost parental employment.

Hate speech
There were over 1,000 reported incidents of hate speech in Japan over the past three years. In response, Japan passed its first anti-hate speech law in May, but it does not include punishments. Other countries like England, Australia, and the U.S. have stronger laws against hate speech that include penalties. While adding punishments or educating citizens could help regulate hate speech more strongly, it could also infringe on freedom of speech. There is debate around how to address hate speech while respecting civil liberties.
Good Impression
This document provides tips for making a good first impression through proper voice tone, handshake, and eye contact. It notes that voice tone, as studied at the University of Glasgow, can convey personality traits and that a dominant voice in women is higher while in men it is lower.

2. Currently many trains are overcrowded with around 150 people crammed into each train car, making it difficult for passengers to feel relaxed.
3. Using double-decker trains and reducing sheets would allow for more space on trains and help decrease overcrowding and the number of instances of groping, allowing passengers to feel more relaxed.
Same sex marriage
The document discusses same-sex marriage and LGBT rights. It notes that while approximately 7.6% of Japan's population identifies as LGBT, only 20 countries currently allow same-sex marriage, meaning less than 15% of the global population has the right to marry. The document presents three responses: fully accepting same-sex marriage, creating a partnership registration system, or doing nothing. It concludes by asking the reader their views on same-sex marriage and how to reduce prejudice against LGBT people.

How to Reduce Traffic Jams in Japan
- Traffic jams in Japan are increasing due to rising vehicle numbers on highways. This causes economic losses and increased carbon emissions.
- Short term solutions proposed include promoting cruise control and GPS announcements of traffic jams. Long term goals are automatic driving cars and increasing road capacity.
- Automatic driving holds potential to significantly reduce traffic jams by optimizing traffic flow. However, it will take time to develop and crashes could involve multiple vehicles. Increased road capacity also helps traffic but requires significant construction costs and land.
Japanese Food Self-Sufficiency
This document discusses ways to improve Japan's food self-sufficiency (FSS) rate, which has declined to 39.4% as Japan relies heavily on food imports. It presents two feasible solutions: 1) indoor farming to utilize basement space, which is effective but high-cost, and 2) encouraging consumption of traditional Japanese foods which are healthier and have a higher FSS, over western foods. Both solutions have advantages and disadvantages. The document seeks ideas to stop the decline of Japan's FSS and improve its food security.
Internet manners
This document discusses internet manners and potential problems that can arise from improper internet use. It notes that while the internet allows people to connect anywhere and anytime, some users do not follow rules or manners which can lead to dangerous contact with strangers, bullying, and hurt feelings. The document evaluates several potential responses to these problems, like restricting one's use of social media or bulletin boards. It concludes by asking readers to discuss with partners how to better follow internet etiquette and manners.
How to Prevent Bullying

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
