The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company identified challenges in men’s meaningful contribution to household and childcare responsibilities after taking parental leave, partly because they have insufficient opportunities to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. By combining childcare expertise with the know-how of cooking classes, the company will create an environment in which men can develop household and childcare skills.
