Promote collaboration with LIFULL FaM, an employment support business for mothers operated by President and CEO: Yuji Ito, TSE Prime: 2120 (hereinafter referred to as “LIFULL”), to support employment for single mothers.Wednesday, November 13, 2024 agreed. Single mothers who have to take care of childcare and housework alone often seek flexible working hours. However, there are only a limited number of workplaces that allow for flexible working styles, and as a result, there are situations where workers are forced to choose low-wage jobs such as part-time or temporary employment. In addition, their careers are interrupted to raise children, and their career options are limited due to fewer opportunities to hone their skills. Additionally, there are insufficient networks and support systems to support single mothers, and as a result, single mothers become isolated, which has become a social issue. Grameen Japan will promote employment support activities for single mothers in collaboration with LIFULL, which operates the mothers’ employment support project “LIFULL FaM”, in order to resolve issues related to employment of single mothers. The employment support business operated by LIFULL FaM is characterized by the flexibility of being able to freely choose when and where to work, making it an attractive option for single mothers who need to balance childcare and work. In this collaboration, Grameen Japan, which supports people escaping relative poverty, will be supporting single mothers who will be able to use the network cultivated through the real estate and housing information service LIFULL HOME’S to enable flexible work styles such as telework. We will introduce our business mainly in the real estate industry. In addition, in the future, we will consider new support measures that leverage the know-how of Grameen Japan and LIFULL, such as a reskilling project aimed at helping single mothers find employment in the real estate industry and obtain qualifications as real estate transaction managers.
