Work-life Balance for Men and Women
On December 18, 2007, a Council of Executives of Public and Private Sectors to Promote Work-Life Balance consisting of representatives from related ministries, economic circles, labour circles, and local authorities formulated a “Charter for Work-Life Balance” and an “Action Policy for Promoting Work-Life Balance” (revised in June 2010), and efforts are now being made by the public and private sectors working together.
Society in which a work-life balance has been achieved
Roles that should be carried out by relevant parties
The Action Policy sets forth policies for effective efforts by corporations, workers, and citizens, and measures by the national government and local public bodies, in order to realize “a society where a work-life balance has been achieved.”
