Osaka University Joins IKUKYU.PJT, a Project to Promote Childcare Leave for Men
Osaka University has joined IKUKYU.PJT, a project to promote childcare leave for men sponsored by Sekisui House Ltd.
Sekisui House, which encourages male workers at the company and throughout Japan to take childcare leave of one month or longer, implements this project with the goal of increasing momentum to create a society in which male workers can take childcare leave as a matter of common sense.
The company will release promotion videos and share information from companies that approve the project on and around September 19, a commemorative day to celebrate its Day to Think About Childcare Leave.
Osaka University, which makes efforts to raise awareness by holding seminars and distributing leaflets with the goal of raising the ratio of men taking childcare leave to 70% by the end of AY2024 as stated in its Business Owner Action Plan, has agreed with the idea of Sekisui House and has joined this project since last academic year.
Osaka University will continue its efforts to promote childcare leave for men in the future.
