approximately 2.99 million, accounting for approximately 5% of all employed people. Additionally, the number of people leaving their jobs to care for family members or provide nursing care is on the rise, at approximately 106,000. Employees leaving their jobs to care for family members is a major loss for companies. The government also recognizes preventing employees from leaving their jobs to care for family members as an urgent issue, and has revised the Childcare and Family Care Leave Act to strengthen support for balancing work and family care. The revisions will come into effect in April 2025 (with some parts coming into effect in October). This book was created against this backdrop and is a practical guide for corporate human resources and labor personnel. How can we support employees who are faced with caring for their loved ones and how can we improve the workplace environment and systems? This book not only provides knowledge about systems related to supporting work-caregiving balance and nursing care insurance, but also explains the practical steps for supporting work-caregiving balance, from the initial consultation and plan formulation to follow-up consultations, along with key points for each situation. Please use this book to become a “companion” who supports employees facing caregiving responsibilities and provides them with peace of mind.
