This society is currently experiencing a decline in the birthrate. Yet there is a shortage
of child care workers in the day care center with many children waiting to be accepted so
their mother can go to work. The shortage of child care workers is a serious situation. This
is because of the poor labor conditions including long working hours and low wages. These
working conditions need to be improved to resolve the shortage of child care workers. To
cope with the declining birthrate problem, we need to consider the improvement of the
labor conditions of the child care workers.
