About the Japan Child-Rearing Support Award

The award focuses on the three fundamental aspects of parenting life: 'Clothing,' 'Food,' and 'Housing.' It evaluates eight categories, including 'Daily Goods,' 'Products,' 'Services & Applications,' 'Home Appliances & Automobiles,' and 'Municipalities & Projects.' Entries are assessed by a judging committee based on five criteria: ① Safety and security, ② Convenience and reduction of burdens, ③ Child development, ④ Parent-child communication, and ⑤ Comfort (toward realizing enjoyable parenting lives).
