This page describes a dashboard provided by the Digital Agency regarding Japan's childcare provision system. As waiting lists for childcare have decreased, childcare policy is shifting from "quantitative expansion" to "quality improvement," focusing on three pillars: ensuring high-quality childcare responsive to regional needs, supporting all children's development and childcare families, and improving operations through securing childcare personnel and utilizing technology. The dashboard visualizes three indicators—demand, infrastructure, and utilization—displaying national and municipal-level childcare provision status. Data is collected by the Ministry of Children, Families and Gender Equality and updated regularly.
