In addition to the legally mandated childcare leave, Rakuten Group has established its own childcare leave system that allows employees to set the length and frequency of time off to suit their lifestyles. The \"Childcare Leave at Birth (Paternity Leave)\" program allows employees to take up to four weeks (28 days) of leave to care for a new child up to eight weeks after birth, while the \"Mom & Dad Childcare Leave Plus\" program extends this period to one year and two months when both parents take childcare leave. Over the past few years, the percentage of men taking parental leave at Rakuten Group has grown, from 18.4% in 2020 to 71.6% in 2024, an increase of about 53 percentage points. Masa, a QA engineer for Rakuten Books, is one employee who took paternity leave. In 2024, he devoted himself to childcare about a month after the birth of his first child. We interviewed Masa about his experiences during paternity leave, what he discovered during that time, and the support he received at Rakuten Group.","type":"rich","image_url":"https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/images/fotolife/R/R-Hack/20250530/20250530093228.jpg","height":"190","categories":["ESDD","Worker","English"],"title":"Parental Leave for Men at Rakuten Group:  A Positive Cycle for Both Family Life and Work","provider_name":"Hatena Blog","author_url":"https://blog.hatena.ne.jp/R-Hack/","provider_url":"https://hatena.blog","published":"2025-10-16 11:00:40"}
