Overview: We will protect employment through Employment Adjustment Subsidies. Due to the impacts of COVID-19, some businesses are forced to curtail their operations in response to the slow-down of the flow of people and goods. The government will significantly expand special measures on the Employment Adjustment Subsidies so as to protect employment and secure the stability of the people’s lives even in such a situation. We will expand the scope of the special measures to all business owners, clarify eligibility criteria (such as simultaneous closure), and apply this retroactively back to January, 2020. We will also increase the subsidy rate for certain areas.
