| Popis: | Recently, the number of men attending early childcare training schools has been increasing. However, even after receiving such qualifications, they will experience difficulty gaining employment at childcare centers. Why don't childcare centers employ more men? How are male childcare workers evaluated in Nara Prefecture? The current state of male childcare workers in Nara Prefecture has never been examined, and research on the evaluation of male childcare workers at childcare centers is scant. Therefore, this paper aims to clarify and evaluate the current state of male childcare workers in Nara Prefecture. Analysis results show that the number of male childcare workers in Nara Prefecture is above the national average. Male childcare workers are under appreciated, and childcare centers don't consider male childcare workers useful for a child nurturing environment. However, the rate of the participation of fathers in child rearing at childcare centers where male childcare workers exist is higher than childcare centers without such male workers. The existence of male childcare workers not only promotes father's participation in child rearing but also helps prevent decreases in the child nurturing functions of the home and the region. 研究報告 |
