The number of business carers continues to increase. In 2025, the number will exceed 3 million.
As society continues to age, the number of business carers (people who care for family members while working) is increasing year by year. According to an announcement by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the number is expected to reach approximately 3.07 million by 2025.
Furthermore, the reality is that more than 100,000 people leave their jobs every year due to nursing care, and if this problem continues to emerge, labor productivity will decline as it becomes difficult to balance work and nursing care, and by 2030 Data shows that the economic loss will reach approximately 9.1 trillion yen. (“March 2024 Regarding initiatives in the nursing care field by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry”)
In response to this situation, in March 2024, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry published the “Guidelines for Employers Regarding Support for Balancing Work and Nursing Care”. According to the guidelines, the amount of loss due to employees having difficulty balancing work and nursing care will be 624.15 million yen per year for large companies (assuming 3,000 employees) and 624.15 million yen per year for small and medium-sized companies (assuming 100
employees). ), it is estimated to be 7.73 million yen per company per year. This makes expanding nursing care support for employees an urgent management issue.

1. Conducted a questionnaire survey to investigate the actual situation regarding employee nursing care.
This survey was created in accordance with national guidelines. Early response is extremely important when providing nursing care support for employees. When employees are forced to devote themselves to full-scale nursing care, there are many cases where coping strategies lead to resignation. Therefore, in order to take prompt action, it is important to regularly understand and visualize the nursing care status of employees.
