Introduction

As Japan approaches a significant demographic shift, the importance of preparation for family caregiving and financial planning becomes increasingly evident. By 2030, it is projected that the number of family caregivers will reach 8.33 million, with approximately 3.18 million becoming business caregivers, balancing work and care responsibilities. These numbers, highlighted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, underscore the necessity for families, particularly those in their 40s and 50s, to prepare for the impending caregiving responsibilities.

Seminar Announcement

In light of these pressing concerns, Oyashiru Inc., led by CEO Isamu Takeda, has partnered with Broad Mind Inc., a provider of diverse financial products, to hold a free online seminar titled "Understanding Essential Caregiving and Financial Planning Before It Begins". This event will take place on June 27, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:30 AM.

Event Details

During the 90-minute seminar, participants will learn about both the challenges of caregiving and the financial preparations needed. Takeda will be joined by Naoki Hirahara, an executive officer from Broad Mind Inc., for an engaging session that aims to alleviate worries about caregiving and finances.

Why Attend?

This seminar is tailored for individuals in their 40s and 50s who are starting to think about their parents' caregiving needs, as well as those who want to gather insights for their own future care requirements. Participants can expect to gain clarity on the following topics:

• - What is covered and what is not under public long-term care insurance?
• - An overview of expected caregiving costs
• - Resources and contacts for urgent situations related to caregiving
• - Strategies for discussing care-related issues with family members
• - Key insights on the impact of caregiving on family finances, including insurance and asset planning

Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity for individual consultations post-seminar if they wish to explore more personalized advice.

Background of Concern

Despite the growing recognition of the need for preparation, many individuals in their 40s and 50s delay taking action, often due to a lack of knowledge about caregiving options and uncertainties about financial implications. According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 68.6% of individuals do not discuss medical or caregiving preferences with their families, further complicating preparation efforts.

Expert Panel

The seminar features experts such as:

• - Naoki Hirahara: A financial expert from Broad Mind Inc., known for providing comprehensive financial advice without being tied to any specific financial institutions, focusing on investments, savings, and long-term care funding.
• - Isamu Takeda: CEO of Oyashiru Inc., who fosters family conversations about difficult topics like caregiving, medical needs, and inheritance, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue in families.

Takeda encourages potential attendees by reminding them that even if they haven’t started their preparations yet, this seminar will provide a clear overview of what they need to know for their caregiving journey.
