Started operation of "Kizuna Connect", a labor system specializing in the childcare industry, at all 13 public nursery schools, certified children's schools, and kindergartens in Kawanishi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
In Kawanishi City, in order to solve the current problem that it takes a huge amount of time for office work such as attendance management and salary payment of nursery teachers, which is directly linked to "recruitment", which is also the most important issue of nursery schools and kindergartens, last year. We introduced this system for about 4 months from December and conducted a demonstration experiment. As a result of the effect verification, it was found that the digitization of complicated procedures can improve the efficiency of office work and contribute to reducing the burden on childcare sites.

On December 21, 2020, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced the "New Childcare Relief Plan * 1" aimed at eliminating waiting-list children, and 140,000 new childcare recipients will be provided during the four years from 2021 to the end of 2012. We have set a goal to secure the amount. In the plan, in addition to the development of nursery schools, efforts such as promoting the active participation of nursery teachers who work shorter hours are mentioned, but securing nursery teachers is an urgent issue. In addition, according to the "Tokyo Metropolitan Childcare Worker Fact-finding Report (published in May of the first year of Reiwa) * 2" published as reference material, 27.7% of the reasons why childcare workers retired are due to the large amount of work. The result is. In order to improve this situation, there is an urgent need to reduce the work burden on childcare workers and create a comfortable working environment for childcare workers. * 1 New childcare relief plan https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/11922000/000707805.pdf * 2 Tokyo Metropolitan Childcare Worker Fact-finding Report (published in May 1st year of Reiwa) https: // www. metro.tokyo.lg.jp/tosei/hodohappyo/press/2019/03/06/documents/05_01.pdf ■ About Urban Innovation KAWANISHI "Urban Innovation KAWANISHI" utilizes the framework of Urban Innovation JAPAN and is a startup.
