Abstract
Japan has a high employment rate of single mothers. These individuals tend to be included in the
“working poor” category because a large proportion of re-employed people are nonregular employees. To be hired
regularly, it is necessary to carry out job research activities with child-rearing resources, such as those for sick
children. However, only a few single mothers keep this aspect in mind while researching jobs. Often, single
mothers have to find work immediately after giving birth because they do not have a husband who is an earner. In
other words, the current situation is to perform a job search with brief inserted leaflets. It is easier to obtain
regular employment using Hello Work than this. Currently, information on child-rearing support, and so on, is
provided by Mothers Hello Work, as well. Therefore, it is better to use such public institutions than checking
leaflets to obtain work. To directly connect single mothers to such institutions, adequate information on Hello
Work and Mothers Hello Work should be included in the citizen section, which are accessed by people to file
divorce reports.
