In a groundbreaking initiative, Aill Co., Ltd. has partnered with Toyama Prefecture to launch 'TOYAMA goen', a unique dating application specifically designed for employees of companies in the region that support dual-income and parenting. This initiative marks the first of its kind in Japan, aimed at not just facilitating connections and potential marriages but also at bolstering workforce retention and improving employee well-being by addressing the prevalent issues concerning meeting partners.
The Background of the Initiative
Toyama Prefecture faces a demographic challenge, with approximately 80% of unmarried young people expressing a desire to marry, even as the rates of marriage continue to decline and unmarried rates soar. With a shrinking working-age population and growing manpower shortages, the lack of opportunities to meet potential partners has been identified as a significant factor. Companies also grapple with challenges in securing talent and retaining younger employees, making it essential to foster an environment that appreciates dual-income and family-supporting workplaces.
Features of TOYAMA goen
This app enjoys the endorsement of Toyama Prefecture and is exclusively available to employees of approved companies, organizations, and entities that promote dual-income and family support. Each day, the app introduces one single employee from another company, allowing for matches based on compatibility factors that consider future work styles, perceptions of household responsibilities, and marital intentions. Aill's proprietary AI acts like a mutual friend, facilitating relationship building between the matched individuals, and aligning them for future compatibility between work and home life.
Problem-Solving Capabilities of TOYAMA goen
TOYAMA goen stands out by providing a unique platform where employees of businesses that endorse dual-income and family-support systems can find opportunities for relationships that align with their career and life plans. By fostering connections in such an environment, employees can easily relate to each other, building an atmosphere of mutual understanding and encouragement. This, in turn, not only enhances workplace performance but also contributes to reduced turnover rates due to life events and aids in career development.
To ensure a secure match, the app introduces employees to others with shared viewpoints on housing, working styles, parenting values, and life aspirations, making it a safe space to explore potential relationships.
Government Commentary
Toyama Prefecture's commitment to this initiative is evident, as they aim to combat the pressing issue of population decline while supporting the hopes of young people seeking relationships and marriages. The collaboration with Aill emphasizes a modern approach to tackling these issues amidst diverse values.

According to Aill's President, China Toyoshima, the importance of connections in balancing career and family life cannot be understated.
