美國時代雜誌(TIME)9月30日公布在政治、娛樂、體育等領域,肩負未來的「次世代百大影響力人物」(TIME100 Next)名單,其中36歲日本京都府八幡市市長川田翔子,被選為領袖代表之一,原因是她「首開先例」,以民選市長身分請產假。

時代雜誌介紹,川田翔子在2023年當選八幡市市長,以時年33歲之姿成為日本史上最年輕的女性市長,而她今年再次創造歷史,因為她做出了一個看似平凡的決定:休產假。

時代雜誌說明,雖然日本勞工可請產假,但民選市長並不在法律保障範圍內,因此川田翔子休產假的舉動可說是「開創先例」,她在16週產假期間由副市長代行權責,並以遠端方式參與會議以及重大決策。

時代雜誌也提到,川田的休產假的舉動引發了批評聲浪,凸顯出日本女性在職場所面臨的沉重壓力,但她也獲得了許多市民的支持,不少人認為,這些批評反映了日本在應對人口危機時的困難,因為這類苛刻職場要求與持續上漲的生活成本,讓為人父母變得越來越遙不可及。

時代雜誌點出,川田上任後推動了減少學校營養午餐價格、在幼兒園提供免費尿布等政策,另外她也大力提倡增加產後照護服務,無論在她個人抉擇或是政策層面,川田都展現了日本如何讓家庭更適合生活。

Open Questions

  • 日本未來是否會修法保障民選首長的產假權益?
