Toward an Evaluation of the Content of Discussions on Child Care by Local Governments Using Child Care Support Information Websites

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of child-rearing support programs administered by local governments, utilizing an information website related to pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing. Specifically, we will examine child-rearing support by correlating the names of local government-run child-rearing support programs, comments made during local assembly discussions on child-rearing and posts on the information website related to pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing.
