Last summer course in Heisei period Children

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-tfMpR49bo Nishio's notes: The last summer course table E in the Heisei period.

Summary (short) Although society as a whole would like to support child abuse, poverty, etc., the barriers of [stove-piping](/en/stove-piping) and [personal information protection](/en/personal%20information%20protection) in government systems prevent data coordination, and support tends to be disrupted. Therefore, the concept of "using private communities and technology to create a system to help each other in the community and online" was discussed.

Challenge: Administration is too cautious about data sharing and system implementation. IT budgets for the field are small, and rules for protecting personal information are complex. Directions: (1)

• Platform/Community Building: Develop an online community where children, parents, volunteers, and businesses can come together to collaborate and consult.
• Token Economy/Points: Increase participation through a system where volunteer/support activities are visualized and contributions are rewarded (e.g., local coins).
• Expansion to government: First, work with small municipalities and NPOs to increase the number of successful cases and expand horizontally.
• Everyone should be aware of the issues involved: Raising children is a challenge not only for parents, but for the entire community. Using digital technology, we can create a society that "finds people in need quickly" and "delivers support.

Explanation (key points)

• Since it is difficult to implement large-scale reforms in a single step into existing government systems, the idea is to first create a "place to pick up problems" on the Internet under the initiative of the private sector, and then to encourage local governments and others to collaborate with them.
• It is expected to create a mechanism for residents and volunteers to post and share information and solve local issues together, and to use technologies (SNS group functions, chatbots, point grants, etc.) to support this process.
• There was discussion about whether visualizing and quantifying the desire to "help" and "participate" would generate ongoing support activities.
• The ultimate goal is "a society where each individual can support each other even when they are weak. Through the creation of infrastructure for child rearing and child support, a new image of community is proposed in which everyone cooperates to solve problems.
