The highest percentage of people who took childcare leave.

A prefectural public opinion survey revealed that of the male employees working at 352 private businesses in the prefecture,
36.9% took childcare leave, the highest percentage.

This is thought to be due to the increased use of the "Postpartum Paternity Leave" established in 2022.

In terms of the length of childcare leave taken by women, the most common was 1 year to 1.5 years at 58.1%,
and when combined with the next most common period of 9 months to 1 year, the total came to 90.1%.

On the other hand, there was a difference between gender for men, with 80% taking less than 3 months.
