The application deadline for Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “018 Support” is December 15, 2023 (deadline for payment in January 2024). On November 17th, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced that 1.17 million people, or about 60% of the approximately 2 million eligible people, had applied, but over 30% have not yet applied. In the survey conducted this time, 10% of respondents said they did not know about “018 Support.” Additionally, when we asked those who answered that they had already applied for 018 support whether the application was easy, 48% said it was easy and 47% said it was difficult. It can also be seen that about half of the respondents find online application to be complicated.
“KIDSNA STYLE” will continue to strive to disseminate useful information for families raising children.
