Focusing attention on policies regarding children and child-rearing is an issue that cannot wait and cannot be postponed, Fumion Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan, via 'The Guardian'.

Kishida said that the new policies, including the launch of a new children and families agency in April, are meant to ensure the "sustainability" of Japan.

We must build a child-first social economy to reverse the [low] birthrate, Fumion Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan, via 'The Guardian'.

'The Guardian' reports that Japan's previous efforts to boost the nation's birthrate have had a limited impact.

According to experts, government subsidies have done little to address the difficulties that discourage people from starting families.
