The Japanese government and corporation should increase childcare policies to strengthen parental employment. Corporate kindergartens also could trigger employer branding and create more attractiveness for potential employees. For example, in Korea, my father’s company has corporate kindergartens so it is beneficial for the working parents to drop their kids at the corporate kindergartens and pick their kids when they are done working. As a result, employees were motivated to work harder and they were satisfied with working for the
