Second, it analyzed Japan's childcare support policies and nurture services for families with a small number of children.
The Japanese government, in 1994, earmarked expenses for 'Angel Plan' aiming at 'Building a Childcare-support Society.' Then in 1997 it arranged its childcare support policies, a legal and systematic device, through the amendment of the Children Welfare law. The Japanese Angel Plan regards the following as its basic policy: the formation of circumstances under which whoever wishes her own child can deliver comfortably; the building of a social system that all social members work together to help domestic childcare; the maintenance of the childcare support policies to set the highest value on children's interests. In order to make the amended Children Welfare law help the healthy growth and self-independence of children, a new generation, Japan has aimed at the reconstruction of the children & home welfare system, and executed various policies for nurture, children's independence support, and mother-children home support. So they are being realized through the following: the system of protectors choosing their favorite nursery school, the enlargement of nurture opportunity for babies and young children, extended nurture period, temporary nurture, and 24-hour nurture, after-supper children's clubs, the management of childcare support centers for local residents, temporary nurture work for the support of babies and young children's health, and advice on childcare at nurture facilities for local residents.
