| Summary |
Public Interest Incorporated Foundation 1 more Baby Ohenda launched this survey in 2013, and 2020 will be its eighth year of conducting it. This survey aimed to discover the real feeling of "facing obstacles in having the second child," which was defined as the "hesitation to give birth to a second child because of household financial prospects associated with living expenses and education costs, as well as work environment and age." In addition to the items in the fixed-point survey, the survey asked about 3,000 married women and about 1,000 married women who had considered or experienced infertility themselves or their spouses about how the introduction of free preschool education, which started in October 2019 and telework, which was rapidly introduced along with the spread of the new coronavirus, affected the child-rearing generation. |
