Possibility of Agricultural Employment on Women in the Period of Childcare by Agricultural Work Experience: Arising from Case Analysis in Mie Prefecture

Abstract

This study focuses on the women in the period of childcare. In this research, we will examine the possibility that agricultural work experience promotes agricultural employment of child-rearing women. The purpose of young mothers participating in agricultural work experience is refreshment, interaction with the participants, and working away from children temporarily. It is not for farm work. However, experiences made young mothers aware of employment in agriculture and led to employment in part time. When a young mother participates, it would be necessary to be able to participate flexibly in a short time with baby-sitting. In order to carry out with such method, it is effective that farmers and women's support organizations cooperate to encourage young mothers' experience participation.
