For some time now, I have had a vague hunch that 'the number of employees leaving the company may increase due to the promotion of maternity lea
Lately, this hunch is "coming true" (though I would appreciate it if you would refrain from giving me examples or data, as this is a matter of private life).
Although "returning to work after maternity leave" has been a social issue for the past several decades, I feel that the opposite phenomenon, "leaving the workforce after maternity leave," will become a problem shortly.
"What have I been doing all this time, sacrificing my family for the company?"
And then, one day, they suddenly 'come back to themselves'?
This may be one "death of values" in our country.

I have already mentioned that "I work for the company (society) for the sake of my family" is a standard phrase for child abandonment.
Working for the family" literally means "working for the family," not "working for the company."
Of course, it is up to the individual to decide who works for whom.
But at least those who think 'I can't raise a child' should not choose a life of having children.
Since you have chosen a life of having children, it is natural to "work for the family."

In this sense, the citizens of our neighboring country, with a birth rate of 0.72, are genuinely severe and honest people.
Of course, the same is true for the young people of our country.
This birth rate figure (1.20 in Japan) comes from the fact that they are prepared to say, 'I cannot raise children.
# By the way, the minimum a nation can sustain a population is "2.08" (persons).
I believe that a "person who decides not to live with his/her child" is much better than a "person who runs around endorsing abandonment."

If there is nothing to do, our country should die a slow and gradual death.
If the government can focus on 'how to soft-land the death of the nation without causing pain to the people,' I would be OK with that.
