Minimum wage increase for care workers


''To what extent are we considering a 'specific minimum wage ' for the nursing care field? A member of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan appealed for  improved working conditions for nursing care workers at the House of Representatives Health, Labor and Welfare Committee  on April 23. Minister of Health,Labor and Welfare,Fukuoka Sukemaro, carefully chose his words in response, saying , ''We would like to consider it after confirming the options and actual situation of labor and management".


The specific minimum wage is a system that is limited to certain industries and adds to the minimum wage set by each prefecture, and there is currently active debate in the Diet about whether or not to introduce it to nursing care workers.

I have experience caring for grandmother so know difficult it can be ，but I would like to see a rise in the salaries if those who do this every day as a job.

This is due to rising costs of raw materials like chicken eggs, packaging costs, processing costs, and labor costs, making it difficult to absorb the increased costs through their own efforts. Mayonnaise products are subject to 30 items, and for a 450-gram product, the reference retail price will rise from 520 yen to 559 yen including tax. Dressing products include 27 items, while food for nursing care includes 52 items. Seasonings and ingredient foods will see price increases starting from shipments on September 1, and foods for nursing care will see increases starting from shipments on October 1. The Kewpie products I buy are not just mayonnaise, but also dressings, so as someone living alone, the price increase is very tough. I sincerely hope that the financial situation will improve, and the prices will ...
