都はどのような取組を進めるべきか，あなたの考えを述べよ。
State your thoughts on what kind of efforts the Tokyo Metropolitan Government should take.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government needs to proceed with the following two efforts.
First, we will further promote work style reforms for companies in Tokyo. In the future, while the working-age population is expected to decrease further in Tokyo, the number of double-income households is expected to increase, and the number of workers who desire to balance work with childcare and long-term care is expected to increase. It is necessary to realize a society. Specifically, we will urge companies to correct long working hours and publicly solicit and publicize cases that have led to operational efficiency. At the same time, we will further establish telework. In particular, telework is beneficial in that it makes it easier for both men and women to balance work and family life, and it also ensures business continuity in the event of a disaster or the onset of an infectious disease.
However, although the telework implementation rate increased at the time of the first state of emergency issued with the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the implementation rate tended to decrease after the cancellation. Possible reasons for this include the fact that he could not find a way to utilize him, the difficulty of internal communication, and the difficulty of labor management. Therefore, the city will create a handbook showing how to use telework by industry and company size, and publish it in a booklet or in the city HR. In addition, we will hold regular seminars for corporate managers, including online, to introduce cases of smooth internal communication and advanced cases of labor management. Furthermore, we will increase the number of companies that declare the "Telework Tokyo Rule" practice company declaration system by disseminating the advantages of registration. Through these measures, it is expected that both men and women will achieve a life-work balance by correcting long working hours and promoting telework.
Second, promote internships for companies in Tokyo. The internship is a valuable opportunity to think about one's vocational aptitude and future design, and to be exposed to practical knowledge and skills in the field of profession. However, at present, the internship implementation rate is low, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, it is often said that even the implementing companies only visit the workplace. These factors may be that it is difficult to prepare for acceptance, such as selecting a job to be experienced in an internship, and the burden on the instructing employee is heavy, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises with a strong sense of labor shortage. .. Therefore, the capital will further promote the "Kizuku internship" business for small and medium-sized enterprises. This project, which is being carried out by the city, is an internship professional, and the business secretariat will support the creation of his gram content and the operation of the day, so the burden on the host company will be small. We will actively publicize this advantage and increase the number of internship companies. Furthermore, in the future, it will be more effective if more practical internships can be conducted by increasing the opportunities and time for practical training. These can be expected to prevent employee turnover due to employment mismatch.
"People" are the driving force behind the future of Tokyo. Through the above efforts, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government must realize Tokyo where each citizen can choose a work style based on their own will and demonstrate their abilities, and everyone can continue to work with peace of mind.
